[V8] Belly Pan Mishaps

[Korn, Bob]

Or after many years the front edge gets a little beat up and you don't
quite get it tucked in up front when reinstalling and then when rolling
down the highway at 85mph, going to work, 6:30 AM, not even through your
first cup of coffee, remote highway, still very dark out, the pan gets
sucked off the car and bounced along the chassis and run over by the
rear wheels and spit out................I could not figure out what I
hit!!    Damm, that will wake you up!   Car still drove ok, nothing
leaking, about a week later I noticed no belly pan..........
