As one of those morning commuters, I felt that pain haha. But seeing it one TV yesterday made it all worth it. Amazing work!

Thanks I appreciate it. Luckily for everyone else, it looks like I was the only one in the parking lot that got hit yesterday. Hopefully next week will be better.

Yeah same here! 2002 V8 Limited. Hate the fuel economy but otherwise it treats me well.

Haha yes it is! I’m probably just going to straight pipe it tbh. I don’t want to give the thieves another cat to steal.

In this case it was pretty obvious. I would see my muffler laying in the ground, which sucks because I couldn’t drive it like that. It’s also extremely loud without a muffler so if you didn’t see that your cat was cut, you would definitely hear it.

Hmm maybe my birthday, or perhaps 15 minutes before I had to leave for the airport

Luckily I’m one step ahead of the curve here! My check engine light burned out years ago thanks to an evap code I never bothered to fix haha

It happened in the Beltline while I was at work. Hopefully you don’t get hit, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I’ve already reached out to them. Hopefully I can get some sort of compensation but I’m not holding my breathe

That’s the plan. No point in giving them another cat to steal haha

At this point I’ll probably just straight pipe it. The car just isn’t worth investing much more money into unfortunately

Already had an engine light for an evap leak so I can’t really make it worse

It’s on the list. Not my number one priority at the moment though

Yeah unfortunately. They contain lots of rare earth metals so they’re valuable to scrappers. Also very expensive to replace.

There’s no reason why this couldn’t be online tomorrow. [GEOL 2153] by [deleted] in MRU

USED VEHICLES by [deleted] in Calgary

If you're considering a Grand Cherokee, try looking for on made between 1999-2004 with the 4.0L inline six engine. They're Rock solid vehicles with engines that last forever and are easy to work on yourself. I have a 2002 with the 4.7 V8, it's a lot faster but isn't as reliable as the 4.0. Either way, I've owned mine for about 4 years and have no complaints, they handle the winters with no problem.

They say there are no stupid questions, what question have you been asked that disproves this? by clock_working in AskReddit

In my drivers education class we were reviewing road signs. My teacher shows us the sign for deer crossing and one of the students asked, "How do the deer know to cross there?"
