Muffler Donuts On Strike

Most of us entered the Coronavirus Quarantine with the best of intentions to shelter in our homes for how ever long it took for this unwelcome Angel of Death to swoop overhead eventually leaving our confines for greener pastures.

Some anticipated passing the time re-acquainting themselves with loved ones or learning a new language and, others of us imagined fixing that rusted out exhaust system on the Volvo 240.

This offers a perfect segway into the Volvo 240 repair job from hell which went fine until the time came to add the rubber ‘donut’ hangers which keep the exhaust system centered in its space and provide vibration isolation.

Seems the rubber donuts which were sent are meant for a much smaller car like a Russian Lada or Trablant.

The muffler donuts which will not fit are on strike as I await a shipment original equipment donuts directly from Volvo.

In the meanwhile, is it time to learn a new language?
