Default Poster Car for Driveshaft Safety Loops

Well after only about 2100 miles my driveshaft front yoke let loose and I learned why a safety loop is so important in these cars! My wife and I were just cruising at about 60 mph when the front yoke snapped. Luckily we weren't hurt but I hate to think about what could have happened (especially in a FFR MK I car without a framed tranny tunnel). Hindsight is pretty good though so the repairs will of course include a new safety loop ($30). There's more pictures(and bigger too) of the carnage if you're interested on my build site (didn't want to post them all here)...
