graphs are pretty

the replacement hoses for the 190e finally arrived yesterday. i swapped them both out in about a half hour, it was very easy. no more leaks. well, fluid anyway. the exhaust is still leaking somewhere and it smells and sounds terrible. i plan to look at it more closely this weekend to find out where it's leaking from as well as check all of the brakes to see what needs to be replaced.

i've found some catalytic converters online for as low as ~$350 and a new full cat-back on ebay for $199.

i called aamco to schedule a transmission flush but their machine is on the fritz until the end of the week.

so i paid $50 for the breather hose and trans cooler hose, i'm looking at around $75-$100 for the trans flush, maybe $50 for new brake pads all around (or another $175 for 4 new rotors if needed) and $200-$650 for the cat/exhaust depending on what needs to be replaced.
