What have you done to your P5 today?

Noticed a clunk from the rear again, got underneath the rear and found that the bolts connecting the endlink to the swaybar brackets were loose already! I only installed it last weekend! grrrrrrrr....
When we get back from the holidays, I'll be replacing all the nuts with nylock nuts, or something. I don't want to loose another set of hardware!

oh ya, drove 303 miles on 10.65 gals= 28.45 gals...it seems my gas mileage has improved the more i stay out of boost????
Exploded a muffler on the road today.
To clarify: there was something in the road in the middle of my lane. I thought it was road kill, or a trash bag or something. Just before I hit it I realized it was a muffler, but it was too late. The noise under the car was horrific! I pulled over right after I hit it, it doesn't appear to have gotten the bumper, oil pan, or anything else important on the P5. I think it hit the crossmember, and exploded, cause several pieces came out the other end. I should put it up on ramps and check out the whole underside, but nothing's leaking, and I don't have time to mess with it now.

Nice, I was on my way home and it was raining a bit and I took the off ramp at the same normal speed that I always do and the back end stepped out, turned it fast to the left, taped the brakes and gave it some gas. I safely driffed the off ramp and stayed in the lane, it was pretty cool. I happened before in my blazer but its rear wheel drive and heavy so there was no saving that one, slid right onto the interstate sideways, im so glad no one was comming or it would been bad. Oh, ive also hit a tire tread with my old bumper and lost the mesh on the insert, but not the insert? I dont know how, but it didnt sound good either. I bet that noise scared the s*** outa you didnt it? lol
The muffler noise was immediately followed by me yelling ****! at the top of my lungs!
I just checked under the car again and none of it's precious bodily fluids are draining out on the garage floor, so it looks like we're ok.

Yeah I bet, running over things can get loud. And im sure your car is ok, I had mine high centerd like a teeter totter on basically what was the road washed away for about 5 feet or so. It wasnt cool, and didnt mess up anything that I know of.
