The Chariots of DOOM
#68
Dammit.

Last night LCF and I prepared for another assault on Mt. Comet.  We had failed to see it the evening before due to all the damned trees in the neighborhood.  Someone really needs to do some wholesale buzz-cutting.  So armed with binoculars and masks, flashlights, etc., we climbed in the Prius to head for Flatland, LCF at the wheel.  But when she started the Prius, it roared.  It roared like a bad muffler, only coming from the front.

The catalytic converter, that was my first thought.  But I didn't know the symptoms for having one of those stolen.  And our 2005 Prius is a prime target right now.  So we did some gawking underneath, with an assist from neighbor Dave and his granddaughter, all trying to respect distancing.  The converter seems present.  Dave thinks it's the exhaust manifold, maybe a bad gasket or a hole.  But LCF drove it the night before, never had a problem.  So I'm a bit suspicious we don't know the whole picture yet.

So not wanting to deal with Magnussen Toyota for this.  They're expensive as it is, and this could be a totaler repair.  But they're close, walkable, and the Prius is way overdue for an oil change anyway, which I get done there (while fending off extras).  I'm thinking we should get it towed there, rather than try to drive it.  We have AAA, which might do that.
I'm nobody's pony.
