Well this wasn't an incident with the Packard but with my wife's Fiero. Her exhaust system started to go so I replaced it with a spare system that I took from a parts car. The exhaust was under a tarp in the back yard for a year or two (Fieros have SS exhaust systems so it was still in good shape). Put the exhaust on and fired up the car - almost immediately acorns came shooting out of the pipes and soon flaming acorns started. Those firey acorns shot about 10 feet down the driveway. Got a chuckle out of that.
