*giggling*

Give the man some help here folks, he's dying!

It's like waiting for the doctor to call. When my CRX died my car place went to get the owner to break the news it was irretrievable. I knew I was in trouble when they said "um, hang on a minute, let me get Mark."

Maybe you could pawn the Cellar car and get something nice.

jimhelm 03-09-2012 03:20 PM

what was the noise like? a constant hum, or a clunking?

We were in the CVS parking lot, and I was turning 5 degrees right when it first happened. J looked at me and said did you just run over a grate? Because that's exactly what it sounded like, running over a grate. Except that there was no grate, and it was coming from only one tire, the right rear one.

So on the drive home it makes this sound a few times. So when I get to my street, I open the windows and drive at about 15 mph, and gently zip-zag so I'm turning right and left. And it happens during the right-turn sway, repeatedly.

The thing is, I needed the money from the pawn shop shift, so the next day I boldly drove it down the expressway and into North Philly. And it didn't make the noise once.

To my mind, this meant the entire assembly had gone completely, and that the entire wheel might now fly off at highway speeds, on the most dangerous road in the state. And then I would be "that guy" who fucks up the Schuylkill at rush hour by driving a car he knew was in disrepair.

But as we know, the Cellar Car is often self-healing.

Still no call... ugh, does their shop close in 25 miinutes?

Did your check wheel bearing light come on? If so, please provide the codes.

:lol:

My check engine light is on, and my right back quarter panel and wheel well and bumper are off.

What are the codes for that?

Ah returned! It turned out to be a sticky brake caliper, which they replaced under warranty since they had done the break work last time. So it is less costly than I thought! Victory!
