Message	...I brought my car in for something I probably shouldn't have even brought it in for. I had my cat-pipes installed. They charged $85. Well, a week after I developed a rattle that would come and go around 3500 rpm (as I reved up or down - resonate frequency kind of thing : ) I jacked the car up today looking for the problem and found a MISSING nut from a brand new exhaust bolt...the bolt was there, but not the nut -- and this is a locking nut, I believe! Everytime I bring my car into a mechanic, they screw something up, and this is my most trusted mech! I know it's not a HUGE deal, but it was such a simple thing! -Dave Z's Rule!
