It was a beutiful day for a drive in my 68 Roadrunner. Driving down a country road I had to slow down for the car in front of me to make a turn, I punched it while in 2nd to about 5500 rpm, shifted into third, then boom. I coasted to a driveway where I could turn in. Had it towed to my mechanic's garage. Over the next four days I received bad news after bad news. Failed u-joint dropped the driveshaft onto the safety loop, banged into spinning differential, shoved driveshaft forward, cracked tail housing and transmission. A 10 cent u-joint cost me $4 grand in repairs. I pray none of my Roadrunner brothers ever experience this nightmare.
