The catalytic converter went out in my new-to-me 1996 Thunderbird with
69k miles. Age is definitely a factor in
this case. The car has been in the shop
for two nights. Hopefully it will be
ready to go by noon.
My car is a vital part of independent mobility for me. Local distances are less than a mile to the
Alano Club or the store, but the last two blocks coming home have short steep
hills that preclude my making it home on my own in my manual wheelchair.
I am grateful to have a reliable car, a schedule flexible enough to
allow for being without a car for 48 hours and to be able to afford to maintain
the car in keeping with legal pollution standards.
