Message	while I was doing a plenum pull. I thought it had fallen through to the ground, so after finishing I just used a spare clamp and started the car. The clamp hadnt fallen through to the ground it slid down one of the blades on the fan and when the fan got going fast enough it bounced around inside the fan shroud until it finally shot out. Horrible horrible noise and destroyed the shroud, little pieces of plastic everywhere. " I told my son, you have to catch the football other wise this just looks like child abuse." - My brother
