hey I’m really tired been having the roughest months of my life and two days prior I finally got the car running to be able to go to work and do side work for money

then someone steals my catalytic converter

they cut through my o2 sensor so now I have to buy one and no muffler shop has the “right” catalytic converter so now I gotta find one that’s CARB compliant because I live in this California hell hole

anyone know where i can find the right cAli compliant converter and maybe an affordable one? I need to get the pipe that goes from the engine to the converter because they sawed through that so now I cant fucking screw one on so yes I’m going to be getting that as well

what do I do now? I’m mentally exhausted and am fucking dirt poor already had to call a bunch of people for favors

I feel like scum and I want to die I don’t know what to do anymore

a shop quoted me 600 to weld one on but it wouldnt have the o2 sensor and I can’t have a check engine light because I need this car to pass inspection before the drivings test
