What Use is a Drive Shaft?
Just over Donner Pass on I80, the pass named after the ill-fated pioneer emigrant party that found itself snowed in on the east side in 1846, resulting in cannibalism to keep 45 of the 86 members alive, we found our own party stranded. Five hours later with two tow trucks in three days under our belt, the mechanic in Truckee was able to extract the front drive shaft from our towing vehicle and send us on our way. The drive shaft now lives in the back of the car, packed in just below the sleeping bags.
