I had a Nissan once. There was a banging noise under the rear of the car. I thought it was the exhaust pipe or muffler. I took the car to a muffler shop which shall remain nameless. They replaced the entire exhaust system - big bucks. I left the shop. The banging noise returned. It wasn’t the exhaust system at all. The mount for the rear shock absorber had rusted away from the wheel well. Not the frame but the thin steel of the wheel well. It would have cost $850 to repair with no guarantee that the repair would last.
I haven’t trusted Nissans since then. Haven’t been back to that muffler shop either.
Driver probably did society a favor, but the shame is that he ruined the structural integrity of an historic old house, possibly colonial, judging by the color of the brick. There may be very few masons around who can fix it properly. Hope the owners are insured. Glad they survived.
