Muffler fell off. Fixed it.



I was driving along in my truck yesterday, when I heard a "clunk" and my engine got real loud.

I pulled a U-turn, picked my muffler and half my exhaust system off the side of the road, and headed back home by way of the auto parts store.

An hour later and $15 worth of auto parts, I had a working exhaust system again.

I had a welder and a angle grinder with cut-off wheel, and knew how to use them.

I actually had the tools, skills, and experience to fix a car right in a short amount of time and not much money at all.

Felt pretty good about that.
