How's this for a first ding?

tropic · 05-02-2008, 07:46 AM

Thought someone might get a kick out of this. I left a can of compressed air in the back seat of my coupe while visiting one of my buds for a couple of hours. The can heated up, the contents expanded, and the damned thing blew its bottom seal and propelled itself through my windshield like some kind of rocket. No damage anywhere else, but now there's a piece of glass trapped in one of my AC vents that rattles around whenever I crank the fan up.

Go figure. The guys at the glass shop had a big laugh.

You should send pics to mythbusters.

NIGHTHAWKSI · 05-02-2008, 08:27 AM
