  On the way home from the Pittsburgh Vintage GP a few years back, my
roadster dropped the exhaust pipe, just back from the manifold.  Next thing
I knew I was gagging on the smell of burning carpet.  The driver's floor

last 60 miles or so with my head hanging out the side window like a big
dog.  Thankfully, no serious damage.
