>>>We had a bit of a sardonic laugh several years ago when Rich James
(who has both a '70 Mangusta and a '74 Pantera, both fully functional)
elected to drive his late-model Corvette to Vegas. Driving home through
Death Valley, his catalytic converter imploded, completely plugging his
exhaust and stopping the car dead in its tracks! As we weren't able to
diagnose it (simply removing the exhaust and running straight pipe would
have got him home fine), he had to be towed (at a cost of many hundreds
of dollars) back home! That'll teach him!
