Default Thing I learned today:

My exhaust is broken! At the place where the straight pipe joins the curly bit that comes down from the engine.

It is chrome plated, I am assuming steel underneath, and broken at the place where I have indicated. If I know someone with an oxy-acetylene welder, can it be brazed back together to save me the money of having Honda do it?

Its 106 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hey, psycho, we're not getting back together. Now get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.

The important question Dwayne, is how does it sound?




Seriously, I have no welding experience so I cannot help you.

Noisier than usual, but I assumed that was because a service is due...
