um. has anyone seen my muffler?

it appears to be No Longer A Part of My Automobile, meaning
it's been left in an unknown Somewhere. such as: on the freeway...

(sigh)

skylar does not sound happy, not at all.
rattley loud mufflerless GRRing: that is the sound
of my verysmallpaychecks disappearing very, very fast

ooh, I know that expensive-sound, tiny paycheck feeling SO well! Hope it works out OK. My car, Teela, is finally almost paid off, but she's coming up on that 100,000 mile mark, and she sounds different than she used to... and the Service Engine Soon light just came on...

Don't know why, but this post really caught my fancy. I enjoyed it. Thanks! :-)

You're welcome ;)

Skylar is likewise fast-approaching the dreaded 100,000 mile mark.
He is not looking so hot (front-end damage, missing-in-action muffler,
and the lock on the inside of the driver's-side-door hasn't been
anti-functioning since April) but somehow...he is still loveable.

Thanks for the comment, and I hope everything bodes well
with the Service Engine Soon light.

I was almost hit with a muffler in 5th grade.
I was part of the safety program and had to wonderful duty of crossing kids when some lady drive to fast had hers drop at the corner and leave it behind.

Who thought mufflers could be so dangerous.

long live the sisterhood of the Orange Sash.

wow.

i SO hope that my muffler has not done permanent physical and/or emotional damage to the innocent fifth-grade safety patrolls.

did you get to wear one of those supa-sexy flourescent orange sashes?
i did! and such were the humble beginnings of my life-time commitment
to revolutionizing the wide and wondrous world of women's fashion-
emotional damage to innocent fifth-graders, et al other bystanders,
continues to ensue. (but this is a small price to pay indeed,
for the enduring love of all things flourescent orange)

> likewise, tracie does not sound happy, not at all.

Tracie is also making rattley loud mufflerless GRRing?

obviously, i was a '92 geo metro in one of my past lives.

[goodgolly]

"grr. GRR!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

see?

tough little car

If it helps at all, skylar
still looks simply great!
(Even with a missing muffler
and a bruised front)

Re: tough little car

[goodgolly]

thankyou Karyn.

i think it's the color, perhaps -
such a loveably happy shade of blue!

& thanks again for driving last night.

Re: tough little car

[visiblemonsters]

hope your ears recovered!!

Re: tough little car
