What, they had no bolts?

The bolts are broken inside so someone has to go in and drill them out before I can put new ones in

You should be able to go to an auto store and get some nuts, lock washers, and bolts to fix this more permanently. I know you know this, any one who would know to do this would just plain be smart.

The bolts broke and are stuck inside the holes and we can't bang them out so I need to have the Mechanic drill them out, but he was closed today

@LadyAlyxandrea there is always another day. You seem to be on top of your situation taking care of stuff as it comes up.

Did you forget the chewing gum? I have always heard bailing wire and chewing gum together.

I had an old Dodge van pass inspection with beer cans and hose clamps over a couple of holes in the exhaust.

Our old Chevy truck is held together with bailing wire and zip ties all through the engine lol

Are you going to leave the vice grips on as well?

Lol no no

You've got to get that fixed. I've been in a car where the exhaust split and boy you can be overcome by the fumes quickly. We were stuck in traffic on a bridge in Boston when it happened. I was so sick.

I know it needs fixed asap, but the bolts broke off inside the hole and the full service gas station guy was unable to bang them out. The mechanics was closed today for some reason cause I went there first. So he rigged it until I can get into them

Also okay I'm afraid to ask but why did you anthropomorphize your car into a boy

I was thinking she meant her boy's car.

@JenBeberstein oh okay I guess I'm a little slow today I didn't pick up on that

@JenBeberstein incorrect!!! I called it a boy car because when the exhaust pipe hung down it looked like my car had a penis

Because giving cars personalities and human qualities makes them more fun

@LadyAlyxandrea I love that!

@LadyAlyxandrea I don't know why but in the back of my mind I thought it was going to be something like that

To me it looks like you might want to think about getting a new exhaust system

It'll happen once I've paid it and the new transmission off. So.. 2022 maybe lmao

I am hoping to do a full restoration over time

@LadyAlyxandrea niiiice!
