Default Daily driver is jealous...

Finally purchased long tubes, X-pipe, and Corsa Pace catback four days later my DD decides it needed to be a little louder also, exhaust rusted through in two spots and every clamp now appears to be 50 years old. Just updated exhaust 3 yrs. ago At least this should be substantially cheaper. Wife says every time you do something to the Vette we always have other stuff come up....Murphy's Law??

Yep, "Murphy's Law", "Sod's Law", ....etc. etc.

I think it is written in the Egyptian heiroglyphics at Giza, and mentioned in the Rosetta Stone text. There is also evidence of similar occurances discovered in excavations in ancient Mesopotamia.

Basically, "If it can go wrong, it will......and always at the most inopportune times"
