I am so LUCKY!
That this happened while I was in our driveway, idling forward into my parking spot, and not on the road where I just drove home from school 55 mph with our son!
The plan was that we would replace my van in April, after mud season.
I guess the plan is changed.
Whew.
My husband's birthday is tomorrow, and he was taking the day off anyway.
Happy birthday, my dear: we're alive!
Edited to add: I'm not 100% sure what happened since it just happened and is still sitting in the slush in the driveway, but my first thought is broken axle or broken tie rod end. Here's a close-up, in case you know all about "wheel fall off".

What the hell is that? Other than something you don't want to have happen on the highway.
So glad you're OK (Do cars do this stuff deliberately - love the Polish chickens and the socks - mmmmm maple syrup = I have an irrational addiction to maple sysrup - it's one of the few things I'm willing to burn carbon to get here in Australia - everything else I'd sooner get locally - but you've gotta have the good stuff for maple syrup - mmmm
Hey sis, looks like you broke the axle, whats actually called a half shaft. Since it is front wheel drive and there are separate drive axel's.
holy mother of god! Ouch. I'm very glad you're still alive. And happy birthday to hubby!
That is scary! Thank goodness you were in your driveway! Repair or replace, it's going to be a pain. I'm sending some sympathy.
How the hell does that happen!!! Did Murphy move it with you and your cars, cause he was living with me all of January. Thank God it happened while you were still in the drive way, what a pain in the a$$.
My goodness! That looks really bad! I'm glad that you're both OK, and as you said, that it didn't happen just a little bit earlier. Whew. Hang in there! (And happy birthday to your husband.)
Yikes! It just doesn't seem like that should ever happen.
So glad you're OK - other than having the face what comes next with the car.
I don't know a darn thing about "wheel fall off," but I'm very glad it happened while you were still in your driveway!
