he is extremely lucky he was already on final approach and was configured for landing. If was at cruise or in the air much longer I think the story would be much different.

Couple managers later I got a new gas caddy complete with it's own pump and hose. Best thing he could have done for me. I guess I could have bought my own.

Ugh. Mrs. GeneJockey's 20 year old Sienna is at a crossroads. It's failed smog and apparently the catalytic converter(s) may be toast. I looked it up, and the units themselves are not that expensive, but with a transverse mounted V6 in a FWD minivan, I imagine you have to pull the engine/transaxle to get to them, so we're talking a repair that exceeds the monetary value of the car. However, she's very attached to this car - after all she's been driving it 20 years!

Phone call of the day:
"Hi, I had a bad allergic reaction with all over body hives and throat closing, I gave myself an epipen and a benadryl, and it worked ok, but symptoms came back so I did another one. Could the doctor send in a stronger epipen script to the pharmacy??"

I wouldn't think so, at least not on anything I've ever worked on. Call a muffler shop that installs legal converters and get a price. California has strict laws regarding aftermarket cats and used ones are not allowed. It might only need 1. Why do you think it's the cat?
We'll probably go ahead and drop the money for the converters. Hopefully this isn't the start of everything else failing.

Because the Toyota dealer said all 3 (3?) need replacing, AND Toyota doesn't make them anymore, so he isn't trying to sell us on repairs we don't need. In fact, the guy suggested an aftermarket muffler place, and complimented the condition of the car otherwise - "flawless".

What year model? Here in SoCal cars 2000 and newer don't go on the dyno.
