this car never cease to amaze me...

Well, umm, yeah, I'm mostly getting very strange supprises over the last few weeks. I have no clue what happened, but my friend came over today when I was away getting gas and a few other things after changing my oil. I come in and he asks me what's up with the car. I tell him nothing I was changing my oil. So asks me about my exhaust, I tell him I didn't touch it. SO we go down stairs and the whole pipe going from my muffler to the world is gone. So yeah, sometime in the last day or so my muffler managed to break off the ending pipe of it. Which is reather supprising, I haven't seen that happen on any well repsected car in a while, and I've seen many older cars. that leaves me wondering what else is going to happen. And the thing is I really don't need extra expenses right now, with prom coming up and all. So yeah, I'm really becoming disappinted in this car, I was hoping for more. I doubt it will last me through college. THe engine might, it's not taking oil or having any major problems, but if other stuff keeps falling off randomly, I odubt it will last very long.

The sound only happened when it was warmer outside, and yesterday it wasn't that hot when I finished changing oil, so I couldn't tell. Will have to wait till it warms up to find out.

I would take it to the pros if I had the money, but I'm not all that rich right now.
