Hi everyone, I have a Hyundai Tucson with a particular oil burning problem that has clogged one or both of the catalytic converters to the point that the car has very little power on hills. I'm visiting a friend in West Virginia, 6 hours from home, and it's probably 2-2.5 hours of mountainous/hilly driving before I can get into the flat part of Ohio where my car might not struggle as much.

I considered swapping the rear cat, but I found out there's a second cat in the manifold that could potentially be the issue instead. I don't want to drop more money into this piece of junk and want to sell it ASAP, but I also need to get home this weekend. Any advice? I would consider selling it right here if I had the title, but that's back at home, 6 hours away. I don't really know what to do. Do I try and limp it home avoiding highways (8+ hours) and risk getting stranded somewhere random? Do I buy a car here and leave the Tucson with a friend short term? I already know what I will get as I have an employee discount and test drove some cars last year when this issue first reared its head. If I buy a car here, what's the best way to sell the Tucson?

Really I'm just stressed and overwhelmed a little. Any advice would be helpful.
