Yeah you’re one of the lucky States. The entire program should be re-worked. Silly to pay $42+ annually, especially if it’s a newer car. In many counties, you also need emissions inspection as well- which is another $50.

Do you hear the sound all the time? Does it get louder during acceleration?

Take good care of your car!

I would say its more sporadic than constant. Not very loud, and can be heard at any time regardless of gear. I've also noticed that when I am parked, you can hear it making a sound (like when its rolling back that split second once parked).

Well hopefully you get it sorted out soon.

No call back from the exhaust shop. Found another one with excellent reviews so that will be my backup if the first one doesn’t get back to me.

I wish I had mechanic skills. Being a country boy from a small town who took auto shop in high school, you'd think I know all about cars but NOPE!

Look on youtube as there are horror story's about how sh$#$ly engineered this model is. I like the broncos too until i started seeing some mechanics videos showing how terribly engineered they are. Guy had to remove the entire dash to access the infotainment system that took a crap on the customer. Seriously an all day job to gut the interior to remove the stereo....

Just had my second morning constitution, think I'll head home now and give our dreadmill another chance. It'd be nice if I could use it consistently, I do not enjoy running on the dreadmill at gyms.

Wondering how much it would cost to have someone do an epoxy floor in my garage.

I don't know zilch about cars - part of the reason I've never bothered to get a license. Luckily for me I live in an area with excellent 24 hour public transportation so I've never really needed to drive. However, it recently hit me that, maybe, I should take lessons and go for my license so I purchased a book about how cars work. One of my worst fears is breaking down in the middle of a busy intersection or highway and I won't know what to do. We'll see how it goes.

My dad was a mechanic but by the time I was of any age to learn, he was over it. Soooo I know little.

I like having easy access at a glance for my credit score, like most banks are now offering. Or apps like Credit Karma.

However.... they all tend to be drastically lower than the true credit score is. I've seen this often and just again when looking it up on Experian. Like c'mon.. report good data

Sorry you missed it. Those of us who were able to experience it (the epic slowness) speak of it often.

The site was overloaded by spam bots. It’s happened before and it will happen again. At least we have a new record.
