A Few Little Things

  Muffler
  Having the car for a week between 2 repairs while waiting for parts, I was driving along the concrete dividers on Glenmore trail, I noticed the typical noise of a muffler that is going, thinking somebody has a repair ahead of him. Accelerating I noticed it's not somebody else - IT'S ME!!
 

This noise was increasing by the kilometer - a sound I did not hear that often after Calgary got out of the recession.

  Getting back to our place, a neighbour was about to leave; she could not avoid to ask: "Are you driving a 12-year old Chevy, or what?"
  There were actually 3 more days I had to drive before I could bring it back in to Lone Star Inc. (Calgary) - but I preferred to drop it off the next day - I was sick and tired of driving this lemon.
   
  During the last repair, Lone Star Inc. (Calgary) found out, that it was not the muffler but that the catalytic converter cracked. They replaced it under warranty at 43,000km.
