Angry Today was a *********** up day (rant)

Well guys and gals, today was not a good day for me. It started when I had to drive 2 hours just to pick up a part for my project car. I went there this afternoon and the guy selling the part wasn't even there. So, I left. Not knowing when I was backing up from his house that there was a huge rock that hit my exhaust and just totally misaligned it. The right side is so bad that it's melting my bumper. And it's pretty bad. To make everything worse, traffic was so bad on the way back that it made the 2 hour trip to a 3 hour trip. Oh, did I mention that it was raining too?

I guess I might as well ask for your help, does anybody know any reputable shops around Tacoma, WA? I really need to get my exhaust aligned cuz it's melting the crap out of my bumper. Thank you for reading my post.

Thank goodness it was raining. Must have helped keep the muffler cool and not melt your bumper all the way.

I am an optimistic guy.

When it rains, it pours. Sorry about your luck metalgear. Your car is one of my favorites.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna go look for a shop today. I need to do this ASAP because the melted part is getting bigger now. Hopefully today is a lucky day.
