Thanks all. I just got off work and called the stealership (love that nickname now) and the service desk person said he sees my car and there is at least a muffler near it on the ground. I told him put my car back together and I will be by to pick it up. But he also said the tech wasn't there...

i've also been looking at those tires. but reading the reviews is giving me mixed signals on what it will be like. gonna have to pick up some in any case as its time for some new rubber. seems like its more for racing than everyday driving (which is where i am, hopefully not for long tho).
