I keep hoping that someone will steal my catalytic converter because it’s been fucked since the day after the warranty ran out, and insurance to replace it would be cheaper than the fix.

But no luck, and I’m going on almost 190k miles now. So the trick is maybe to have a bunch of trash covered in dog hair in the backseat? My husband is always bragging about how tidy his car is, and he had to get a new one.
