As a OT aside, Bob Wong Chevron later tried to sell her "muffler bearings". Really. She had a squeek, and they "diagnosed" it as a "resonance in the exhaust system". She described it to me over the phone, and it was clearly U-joints. She had those fixed and guess what--no more sqeek.

I can't say enough bad about Bob Wong Chevron in San Francisco. Next time I'm in SF, I'm going to fire bomb* them or at least honk and flip them off on my way by....
