The Dude Abides Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Terrys Auto in Clive did such a good job fixing my rusted out pipe and broken exhaust studs that they made it quiet. So dam quiet that i no longer scare little children on the side of the road. NO longer will little old ladys quiver in fear next to me at a stoplight. I will no longer have the rally style wow factor as i blast buy people in traffic. It so quiet i can hear all the other problems the engine and the wheel bearing are having. Its a sad sad day.

Twitch de la Brat Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Poor car, it can't roar at other people anymore... I know that my BRAT feels the same way. Unfortunately the wheel bearing that took the place of the exhaust noise gave up as well, so its currently without a roar Hope your car gets its roar back (or maybe not) Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ettev Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Put one of Scott's urban assault bumpers on the front along with a set of sharpened Texas Longhorn horns on the hood. You'll scatter some people. Edited March 9, 2010 by ettev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capn_r Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Maybe with the free plug you gave the shop they could hook you up on a deal fixing the wheel bearings and engine issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ettev Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Funny. Like this? That's perfect. I'm picturing you stopped at a red light and having people cross the street in front of this baby! Can you say "photo op"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoomer Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Yeah I had the same problem with Superior Subaru in Burien, WA. it went in for a valve adjustment. Came out with a loud wheel bearing... and a fixed exhaust... a couple days later I took it back for the wheel bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. I have a friend who used to have a goat skull and a rubber aligator on the hood of his landcruiser... someone pulled out in front of him and that's what they saw coming in their side window when he couldn't stop in time...
