I was driving my kids to school and heard a strange scraping sound, when i got home i looked under the car and the gas tank was literally falling off the car. The skidplate/support was rotted away and only the back portion of it was holding the gas tank up. Could have been a major problem if i didn't notice the scraping sound and check before i drove it anymore.
