Guess the cost: On the weekend driving down the final 7km long gravel logging road, our car hit a bump and it broke the pipe that goes

from the engine to the muffler.... It was broken through and hanging really low to the ground. Definitely could NOT drive far, and we were 6 hours from home.
plus the car was instantly super loud.
And we were in the middle of NOWHERE. The nearest garage was an hour away and already closed for the long weekend till Tuesday.
We just left the car at the dock and hopped in the boat and went to the cottage to figure it out.
2 days of strategizing ensued.
On Sunday, the 'men' boated back to the car with wire, clamps and roof flashing and using a washout gulley in the road as a means to get under the car, MacGyvered it in place.
We got all the way back to Toronto with really no issues (shocking.)
Dave just called from the garage where they fixed it.
Guess the cost.
