The bracket holding my muffler broke today, a question [View all]
I was in town earlier to meet my friend for breakfast. I was getting ready to go back in to Dem h.q.to volunteer. I turned my car around and got on the st. Horrible noise. I stopped right away and ran behind the car and saw the back of the muffler resting on the ground. No warning at all
I got down and looked to see if I could do anything, but I couldn't see well enough. I called AAA and their tow truck came out, pretty quick. He said he wanted to check something and got down to look under the car. He said he could fix it and asked if I had a wire hanger. I got one and brought it out. As he was fixing it, I asked if he could tell if the front end was secure. He said the rear bracket had rusted. Before he left, I started the car to see what it sounded like. I know if the front seam is cracked, the car will be louder, but no, it sounded like my stealth Prius
I gave him a tip as thanks. I felt lucky, all in all.
I made an appt. for next Th. I wondered if I stay on paved roads and take it easy, can I make a few trips between now and then, if I have to? I don't know how secure he made it.
I feel terrible I had to cancel my stint at Dem. h.q.
