Cataltic converter and exhaust manifold had to be replaced on my ford fiesta. Cars are way too expensive to abandon my 2011 Ford Fiesta. If I want to have fuel economy, not fail emissions tests and not damage other crap in my car it had to be done. 1936 in the trash. But at least I should have a working car for the next 2-3 years.

What do you mean by 1936. $1936?

But at least I should have a working car for the next 2-3
years.

I think I got you beat in the expense payout category. Just
before winter, I spent about $5000CDN for: 2 new rear springs
and shocks, 3 rotors, 4 wheels/rims, muffler and some related
piping, new brakeline kit.

It's a 2007 RAV4. 116K km.

I would appreciate getting my $5000 worth for a few more years.

I was fortunate that my winter tires from 2012 still actually
had plenty of tread.

But..I have to spend a bit more this Spring as I look to get
separate wheels/rims and fresh summer tires.

Labour cost sounds about the same here (Canada): almost $100/
hr.

I think they've done away with emissions tests here. Or, I
don't remember requiring one since the Covid-thing started.

They have done away with them "for now".
