A damaged exhaust manifold caused a coolant leak, eh? What, did the exhaust manifold fucking explode and shrapnel from it damaged the radiator hoses?

Rarity, I love you, but you don't know shit about cars. I think I'll at least take a look at it myself.

    I'd want to get Applejack's opinion on this one. Twilight would no doubt have an encyclopedic knowledge of what the manuals say, but Applejack's got the first-hoof knowledge that comes from keeping one of these things running way past its expected lifetime under harsh orchard conditions.

    Meanwhile, Fluttershy is clueless, and Rainbow Dash just says you should put a turbo and nitrous in it ... which is what she says about every car.

    And nobody dares let Pinkie Pie know there's a car problem in the first place because she'd insist on getting involved somehow.

    She might solve it, but the next mechanic to look inside will have an aneurysm.

    Because confetti and streamers will shoot out as soon as he opens the hood.

    I get the feeling that the Apple family refuses to own or operate any vehicle that doesn't have a carburetor. As far as they're concerned the Model AA was good enough when it came out and that means it's good enough today.

    You might be able to talk Applejack into an older Hilux but a 2001 Civic is probably way too modern.

    If the manifold was ripped out of the block by something catching the exhaust pipe then sure. There wasn't much meat on those Civic engines, after all. You could sneeze wrong and end up warping the head.
