I've actually had a driveshaft come off my 1979 Plymouth Volare.... it was definitely a great ride, since the car almost endo'd before the rear joint broke and sent the drive shaft flying into an oncoming line of traffic.

Noone was hurt, nothing was damaged (other than my car.)

Changed the yokes on the axle and transmission, and installed a new shaft with new bearings, ran it once, and the damn car wouldn't start again after that.
