We've seen all kinds of carnage pics of 1 pc driveshafts, but I don't recall anybody killing a stock 2 pc yet.

I've ran mine into the 120's for a few miles on several occasions and it still spins.

might as well have been . . . there's several places on the way to Mexico that are flat and open.

Then there's the toll road south of the boarder, and that's a nice flat stretch
