    Talking Funny car troubles

    Earlier tonight I was driving on Deerfoot,just past the Anderson/Bowbottom Overpass and all of a sudden, the car kinda backfired(My Loaner Tempo ), then started making this horrible grinding noise that was coming from the back left side, that sounded like somekind of Brake problem . So i turned off Into Douglasdale, pull up to my friends house, and get out to see if I could see what the problem was, and the Fucking Exhaust was hanging on the Ground!! I couldnt help but just laugh It was still kinda welded on, right at the end, right where the tailpipe starts, and I tried to knock it off,but it was kinda wedged in there pretty good. So not giving a Shit what happened to the Exhaust(It already had a whole the size of a fist, and it was barely staying attached, I just drove on it for 15 minutes, to try to loosen it up(got some pretty wierd looks ), but that didnt even work, So I finally just beat the hell out of it with a Tire iron and it finally fell off, ahhhhh , quite the evening!

    Now the car has this great little growl with the Exhaust missing!
