The master of knowledge speaks again.
Bodhi who knows everything can't even fix a rattling heat shield.
I bet you can't even fix anything on your car.
Stop smoking then you won't have fags butts in your car.
Or you could EMPTY THE ASHTRAY.

I might be able to fix my car. I don't know. I've never broken one yet. But if being able to do so makes me just as goddamn cool as you well then I shall buy a Haynes manual and see what can be done.

there is a shild above the rear box. this sometimes makes a rattle noise, try just bending it down a bit first to see if this will help
