Assuming the wheels in the background came off of that car, the owner just wanted the rotors to match.

Mate was driving on the highway when it went and with how well soundproofed the liberty is and the stereo being up he didn't hear anything till the belt went bang!

I see you found my old transmission.  At least, with the noises it was making, it probably looked about like that. Metal chunks came out when it was drained.

Later on as it got hotter the road actually buckled causing that accident. We're not used to heat like this in Wisconsin....

It's the only four lane road that connects eastern to western wisconsin besides I94.

I can't believe they left that road open. This was enough to close the belt line around Raleigh. http://www.wral.com/weather/video/11266057/#/vid11266057

Oh man, I remember in high school we all knew the best train crossings and bumpy roads on which to jump our cars. There was a double set of railroad tracks that were perpendicular to a slight hill, if I got my '89 Mercury Tracer up to 65 or 70 mph I could clear the second set of rails with all four tires.  Thirty-year-old me thinks seventeen-year-old me was a complete maniac.
