Exclamation I cringed today...

Im driving down sandlake road (in orlando) today and I see a beige 944 making a uturn. Now, since I love these cars, I never miss the opportunity to see one up close. As it approaches me I hear what could only be likened to a freight train. The car passes me and it sounds like hes running open exhaust... but then as he passes me I notice the connection a few feet infront of the muffler has become unattached and is scraping backwards down the road!!!

If the owner happens to read this STOP THE MADNESS!!! Please PM me and I will help you fix it!

I snapped a quick pic from my cell phone, I dont think you can see much though...

It may have just happened before you got there... gotta give him/her *some* benefit of doubt.

-The Sand Lake road down by OBT, or the Sand Lake road in Longwood?

Either way, it sucks to see one in neglect or disrepair.

Looks like Sand Lake where it ends at Apopka Vineland Rd. near Bay Hill Country Club.

Thats not my car but when mine broke loose a year ago like that I was on my way to work. I had to stop at a store to get some wire to wire it back up to be able to drive it. So I went at least 40 miles with hanging exhaust that day. I did feel like everyone was looking at me though and fixed it that night.

keith, that appears to be Sand Lake road at the Apopka-Vineland intersection. just south of Bay Hill.

Derek, my car is red and will be just about as loud, without the sparks. i hope to rectify the noise issue soon!!!
