Your first uncorked trip, to the muffler shop...

I drove my Caddy ~20 miles with no mufflers...not by choice. Some jackass didn't secure the junk in his pickup and dumped a bunch of steel fence posts in the road! One of them took out my exhaust system...left side muffler & tailpipe gone, right side, everything behind the cat was gone! Drove home (loud, but the cats means it wasn't too bad), drove it to the shop a few days later to fix it.

I was so pissed at the time I didn't even think to grab the fence posts.
