And then I heard it...

The past weekend the muffler on the car died and started beating the exhaust against a metal bit of the rear bumper.  Kudos to Honda for putting the metal bit there because it protects the bumper as well as makes enough bloody noise anyone can hear it.  So I took it in as soon as I could and they replaced it with a new muffler and for the first time I realized something.  I always thought the moron that had the car before me just put a loud muffler on the car.  There was just an exhaust leak that made the car sound like crap.  Other than that things have been pretty quiet around here.
