shattered my drive shaft this afternoon

Coming home with groceries in the trunk. I got a little crazy & stabbed the clutch in 2nd expecting the predictable drift and burn I love. Instead all hell broke loose,I thought it was gonna come right up through the floor. After getting towed home, I got a chance to jack it up and see the damage. Amazingly,the drive shaft is the only damage,the front portion twisted and torn to pieces. I picked up several big chunks of drive shaft shrapnel from the road.
I blame the groceries.

Last time I read about this, it was Bill in MN. You got out lucky! Of course, his was a one-piece driveshaft.

That brings back som not so fond memories. Luckily nobody got hurt.
The divot in the tar was where mine pogosticked, the rest is self explanatory.

I offered to host your photos, but I guess you're not interested.
