I very well could have bashed it on one of the bumps, given that the entire road was one big crater field.
Alright, so I'll throw some duct tape on the hole--but my next step should be to basically to take it to a professional and have them check out the catalytic converter, then? And also grab some spark plugs and have those replaced, while I'm at it. How much does this kind of thing usually cost, just so I have some idea?
Damn used cars. I originally only bought it to have it running for a year... looks like my estimate was right on target. I need it working for another few months at least, until we can get out of here. I was thinking of selling it, as it seems to be in otherwise good condition... but now I'm really wondering if I'll just have to part it out.
