loud backfire??
10 Grand sport.
Left the shop tonight and got about 1/2 mile down the road when I heard a very loud bang from the rear of the car. Thought maybe I blew a tire. I immediately pushed the gage button to bring up rear tire pressure.
Watched it for a few miles and no loss. When I got home I looked the car over and could see no damage. I can only assume it was a loud exhaust backfire.
Anyone have this happen?

Or could it have been something even louder coming from another nearby car? Backfires are a lot less common now that we have computer controlled engines.
