My muffler part of my exhaust fell off, Is it safe to drive still?

Question:
On the way home last night part of my exhaust fell off. Its the muffler box and the pipe that comes out at the back of the car.

I have tried everything and it still wont start, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY?

Apart from making a bit of a noise is it safe to drive?

Is it safe to drive with overdrive problems?

The fumes are now coming out of the remaining part of the pipe which is about half way along the underside of the car. I need to get to work tonight.

Can anyone tell me how far nice is to monte carlo in miles?

The exhaust fumes are blown away when traveling down the highway, but it's possible some could be drawn into the car even then. However, if you keep some windows open, I think you can drive it for a day or two. Worst case is when your sitting with the car idling for long periods with all the windows closed. Carbon monoxide could build up in the car and you may not realize it. Don't worry about the added heat under the car. Just don't sit still and let the engine idle any longer than you have to.
