Engine problem
1995 Subaru Legacy Engine Size unknown All Wheel Drive Manual 152000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
my "check engine" light has come on for the 2nd time, and from what i remember from my mechanic, it is an emissions issue that may be the catalytic converter. the problem is that i don't have time to get to my mechanic prior to going on a weekend road trip to the snowy mountains. i definitely don't want to break down in the snow and am wondering if it is safe to drive long distances (about 5 hours each way) with a catalytic converter issue or should i spend the $180 to rent a car??

thanks so much for any advice.

Id hate to say yes and have the cat fall apart and plug the exhaust up so the car wont run. This could happen.. so be advised, its your call
