I stand corrected.

March 28, 2008

It wasn't the muffler.

It was the whole bloody catalytic converter.

$600 later…our trip to the Detroit Science Center (which we did because we had free tickets) was a bust.

UGH.

However. I will have some fun news to share soon…hopefully early next week. That's the only thing keeping me from pulling ALL of my hair out.

600$?! O_o OMG!! When I had to change that on my sister’s car it cost us a lot less…but then, my sister’s car is an old Rover, so that may have something to do with that…

Oh Colleen, that could have been us.
We parked on a side street too but got there so late that we didnt wait in the line and decided to go to the DIA.

Hope you have a better weekend

That Sucks! I just told my husband about it…and he said that the metal in catalytic converters are going for a LOT of money right now.
Hope you have a better weekend.

Oh, yuck! What a bummer! I remember when our apartment was robebd back in college that having your stuff taken engenders such a feeling of impotent rage, like, “Dammit, that was MINE! Get your own!” Bleuch!

But, hey, some good news next week? Most excellent!

Apparently one of the most popular things to steal from cars right now are the Catalytic COnverters because they have Platinum in them and fetch a nice price for scrap metal.

Jeeze louise.
