That sucks, but glad you're ok. Were you running the stock driveshaft? I'm on my second stock 2 piece in my 2006, and its on its way out, the center joints are super weak. Hopefully your insurance takes care of you

This happened in Concord. I have no idea what broke, but I did notice in between the skid marks the asphalt had a rut carved in it that followed the skid marks 100%, so something metal came down from my car.

I was going about 70MPH. I have full coverage insurance. Thanks for your wishes everyone
