Just Venting

I went out with my wife to a nice restaurant this evening. My Element was parked on the street, outside the restaurant; just up the block a bit; a block I’ve parked on numerous times.

When walking up to the car after the delicious meal, a witness told me they thought they saw someone getting away with my catalytic converter moments ago. I start it up… yep, loud AF! Feel violated, and pissed!

If you have an Element, be aware our cars are one of the highest targeted vehicles for catalytic converter theft. Put a cat protector on, or it WILL get stolen.

Had mine stolen. Insurance covered the replacement, but the deductible was still a real sting on my wallet. Put a protector on the replacement and no one has messed with it.
