Gah!!! Stoopid Car!!!

So I had brought my car in for repairs a few weeks ago (after the speed sensor fried en route to Montreal) and at the time they patched up some holes in the exhaust pipe caused by corrosion. Anyway, I'm coming home this evening and my engine starts howling, it sounded like a cheap souped up Civic.

I pulled over and looked under the car and the exhaust pipe had corroded right off at one end and was dangling about an inch from the ground. I got some twine and tied it up a bit so it wouldn't hit the ground while I was driving and I brought it back to the garage. It sounded like a freakin' motorcycle it was so loud, people were staring.

This time they're just gonna replace the whole exhaust pipe instead of trying to weld all the corroded bits, the pipe would've never made it through the winter.

Ugh, I just hope it's not too expensive.
