well, the car’s fixed. for now. the exhaust pipe broke off right in front of the muffler, so that explains the rattling and the noise. it was hilarious driving around the back roads trying to find midas. i’m sure i woke up more than a few retirees from their morning naps. anyway, they also replaced the muffler itself under warranty, since he figured it would have to be done by summer. all told, i had a $211 lunch. why am i still hungry?

    one time my car was rattling- turned out that the exhaust pipe was leaking carbon monoxide into the car. Heh. No WONDER I’m a freak. Ahem- $1500 later…

    yeah, but you’re not dead. i’d say it’s money well spent.
