OUCH!!!

How'd you do that?

That's hardly ever a good sign.

I've seen alot of twisted driveshafts, but I've never seen a tailhousing break off like that!

Good thing your car didn't make like a pole vaulter.....Bad juju can happen when it breaks off at that end...glad you are OK.

That's where a drive shaft loop becomes invaluable.

Just one question? Did you change your shorts before or after you finally picked your wife up!!

A little JB Weld and that will be as good as new!!

Actually.. that is pretty crazy.. you would think there would be weaker places for a break to happen.. must of been cracked to begin with or something..

As said, glad it didn't go worse for you (pole vault)

Will an H-pipe/X-pipe exhaust function as a driveshaft loop in this case? I've wondered about this since I didn't make a provision for a loop...
