    I have time today to do whatever to my car. I'm going to wash her down and clean out my interior. What should I do next? Don't say wax.

    wax is cheap tho, and its getting cooler outside. tire rotation is free, wheels get cleaned real good when off the car too.

    i was just in Allentown yesterday too, small world.

    just polished my exhaust tips and one is clearly too low. DO i juist hammer one of the rusty bars supporting the muffler up to get it in place? Something adjustable?

    the rubber hanger may be stretched out, and need a new one installed, or try to bend the metal rod thats on the muffler to adjust it.

    for your exhaust you can put a hose clamp around your rubber hanger and tighten it til it is at the right height.
