Demise of the inline 6.

Thought I’d add this in since there’s a gap here.

When it came time for inspection, the state of the exhaust of the Mont was in pretty sad shape (muffler holes, etc.) so I was pretty confident it wouldn’t pass. I figured I’d get to it eventually, patch it up, it’d pass and be back on the road. Well, after it sat for a month I decided to fire it up – it sounded horrible. There was an extremely loud engine knock, so I figured it had enough. Out it goes. Despite the anemic performance, it served me well for 25,000 or so miles.
