Rusty Exhausts
I sometimes wonder if they make exhausts from the most rust-able metal in the world. It seems to take no time at all for a brand new exhaust to rust while I have some knives and forks in my drawer at home that have been washed up everyday for twenty years and they are still gleaming.
Of course cutlery is not the same as an exhaust pipe but you see my point. That’s why modders love to get those shiny pipes fitted because it’s something that makes the back end of a car really stand out. And if you’ve got 2 or more – even better, but NOT if they’re rusty.
The other thing that annoys me about exhausts is the way that you can completely forget about them and then you suddenly hear that tell-tale blowing when you start up one morning and you know you’ve got a problem.
Long, long ago I had a Hillman Imp and it developed a hole in the exhaust that made it make back-fire noises like crazy as I was slowing down at junctions.
I guess my question is, why can’t they make exhausts out of knives and forks?
