WooHoo Got my car back!!!

Post by Whelan »

Picked her up yesterday, she is filfthy with pollen but looks fantastic. The body shop gave me a new floor pan under the hatch, new bumper, bumper protector, they fixed the dent in the hatch and repainted. The best news is this though.I knew I was getting a new muffler, the car has 70,000 miles on it. Well they also replaced the whole exhaust, so I got everything new just about. New cat, new piping, new muffler. I was psyched cause I know at around 100k or so those things typically need to get checked or replaced. So I lucked out as it was $800 of the repair cost. Shiny new muffler with the chrome tip and the car is SO much quieter now at idle and driving around. Life is good so far. I wonder if it will help my mileage out at all though?

That's great you got a whole new exhaust! I should find someone to rear-end me so I can get one!

Missed her sooooo much. It was weird sitting in it again cause after sitting on the floor of the G6 in the big bucket seats it took a minute to get used to being higher upright. Congrats on getting your car back as well!I will see what happens to the mileage this time around.
