Good Old Hoosiers ...

While taveling to Cleveland my old Subaru started making noise ...
and then going to Detroit, it got much worse!

The old Subaru has 180,000 miles, before the speedometer broke ...
So, how much money should I put into it?

I brought it to a Midas shop in Michigan -- 866$ was the quote.

I decided to wait until I got back to familiar territory -- Indiana --
to get a second opinion.

I brought it into a local exhaust place [Bells Exhaust] --
and told them I just wanted a estimate ... that's all.
They put it up on the lift,
the guy looked at it for 15 seconds,
and told me,
"20 minutes, 45 dollars".

OK!

It was 65 dollars with the tip!

They hit it with reciprocating saws, cutting torches and welders.
And in less than 20 minutes, I drove away very happy!
