Tire guy talked me into leaving it on the rim. It was on the left rear on the outside. I had to drive by the DOT station in a few miles and they would spot the blank rim in a heartbeat.

It ran smooth at 45mph and was very out of character for me to do something dirtball like this, but I had the rest of the afternoon open to drive slowly.

A couple of years ago I blew a new looking right rear on my Taurus SHO at "interstate" speed. When the security nut driver broke I drove 8 miles on the flat at 10 mph on the edge of the interstate. Did not ruin the rim, but I had 8 more rims at home if I did. Tire guy hammered an old socket on the round nut and got my spare on. My car now has five regular nuts on each wheel. Darn ferds anyhow!

Some days ya do what ya gotta do!
