Time for a new mod!
I'm checking to see if an exhaust restriction will improve my economy.
Traveling down the freeway at speed, a steel bar (looked like a heavy duty pry bar, probably 2 feet long) was tumbling towards me and I couldn't avoid it. I decided to straddle it to hopefully leave the tires intact and it plowed into the exhaust making a hell of a racket. It hit the exhaust twice, a heat shield and the floor, and then put a notch in my right rear control arm.
It certainly could have been a lot worse.
