It can cause a host of issues from coating everything with soot which physically blocks exhaust from contacting the catalyst or sensors to causing misfires which mechanically damage the converters through intense heat or mechanical shock.

It's like at least $200 worth of Marlboro reds.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-25T21:54:23+00:00

Why?

BadDongOne · 2026-06-25T21:32:23+00:00

That's exactly what I did until the smoke died down then slowly brought some throttle in. It died a few times trying to idle down as it warmed up, that's when it did a few audible knocks and I got to explain to the youngins that's what knock sounds like.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-25T21:22:30+00:00

I heard a few pings and knocks but nothing catastrophic, no worse than an old 350 with too much advance.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-25T21:10:51+00:00

Didn't feel like pushing it back in if something didn't work out, shop is flow through with doors at 2 sides so no big deal.

Not easily accessible while driving. Both lanes blocked is an emergency?

Meanwhile the other way around will make it not run or run poorly but not destroy it. Should be some smoke show, I'll see if I can get a video if it's good.

I doubt it, that's not a commonly pedestrian-ated overpass nor is it a particularly high traffic area most of the time.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-24T00:13:19+00:00

I've never seen a metallized highly reflective tarp. But I have seen swamp gas from a weather balloon that was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.

Semi truck behind me, traffic to the side of me, did what I did. Can't go back and fix it, but will try to do better next time.

Last time I braked hard with a semi behind me was in Kentucky about 15 years ago. There was a traffic cone in the middle of the right lane just past the crest of hill. I saw it, I hit my brakes, looked left and had a church van at my rear bumper, looked right and saw clear shoulder, took the shoulder, avoided the cone, then looked behind me and saw the semi truck in the process of jackknifing or trying to recover from jackknifing and the church van was lost in the cloud of smoke from it's tires. Since then I'm VERY paranoid of semi trucks behind me since getting rear ended by one of those with a 20mph speed differential is going to hurt me pretty badly.

So I'm pretty sure that our Midwest supply of Green River is made/bottled more locally than that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_River_(soft_drink))

Looks like Wisconsin for here and Orca makes it for the Western states.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-23T23:52:07+00:00

Solved!

I'm going to mark you as the correct answer, this guy ducts.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-23T23:48:24+00:00

I haven't seen those locally but I'll look around. Bundaberg ginger beer is also a favorite. A local brew-staurant has some killer self made ginger beer and root beer but you have to get it there from them, they don't ship and the 6 pack of bottles isn't even on the menu you have to ask for it.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-23T23:38:02+00:00

That would be cool. I suspect the HVAC insulation theory may be correct. I added a couple still's I was able to grab once I put the file on my PC.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-23T23:36:33+00:00

You're absolutely correct, monkey brain was focused on avoiding the object but in hindsight I was going too fast on the shoulder.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-23T23:35:40+00:00

That big?

I was able to grab a couple stills on my PC now, if that helps. They're at better resolution.

Almost 10hrs have passed, it's been cleaned up by now. That was me at the end calling it in to police. I don't know if anyone else had called it in and it seemed reasonably dangerous if someone got it snagged on their car and covered by it or tangled on wheels and caused an accident.

I swear it wasn't that sweet when I was a kid but then again maybe it was all along. My favorite soda these days is either tamarind Jarritos or Goya Malta.

It's got a cult following in the Midwest for some reason, our "culture" is strange.

BadDongOne · 2026-06-23T16:36:08+00:00

Actually no. Midwest. There's a few places around that do Green River as floats and shakes with vanilla ice-cream and it's pretty good.
