Cat Explodes!

It was hotrod Saturday here where i live, seen these two chicks in this nice blue T/A about a mid 70's model. I come up to them, drop it down to first mash on it, back off, they mash on it ect, anyways about the the 4th time doing this my car lost all power, rpms droped, and it was like pop, pop, so i pulled off the road into a parking lot started the car ran just fine, gave it some gas, POP, died, did this about 4 times then i started to get really pissed off, so i started it mashed the gas, and about 4k it was BOOOOM sounded like someone did a drive by on a tank, and then it was xmas full of snowy insulation flying in the sky!!!

Re: Cat Explodes!

That put a BIG grin on my face.
I was hoping for a pic with the shell peeled back like a tuna can or blown apart at the seams. Maybe a pic of the road surface underneath afterwards.

I guess I'm just not that lucky. Anything else suffer...AIR pump perhaps?
