SNAPPED my stock DS tonight!

Well i was out for a ride, close to home thank god, (within 5 miles)

i was rolling in first gear on this freshly paved road, and punched it and when i shifted into 2nd, something went SNAP and i instantly knew what it was.

My driveshaft!! thank god for the safety loop I installed a while ago
