    The later noise (like two knives scraping) has been addressed by the dealer at no charge to me, and it turns out that it was in fact the backing plates on the rear drum brakes; The "chicka chicka chicka" noise still persists, and after another trip to the dealer it has been determined to be my front suspension. My mechanic is replacing the front struts on January 3rd, so that issue should go away, but I am too busy this month to get my truck dismembered again in any way, shape or form!

    I have no idea how this happened because this is a brand new set that was literally just working the night before last; Luckily, one of my coworkers (an electrical engineer) is going to see if she can fix it and save it from the landfill!

    I saw this beautiful blast from the past at the Shell station 611 in Doylestown and just had to stop and chat with the owner; This wagon is a 1982 AMC Eagle, and it's been a Pennsylvania car it's whole life!

    Didn't just buy it, but he just sold his other car and is in the process of making this one daily driver-worthy; He's currently rebuilding the A/C system and converting it to R134a...

    By pure chance, a former coworker/supervisor from Spirit Halloween was at the adjacent pump and her Altima wouldn't start; I gave her a jump and told her that her next car should be a Toyota... ;)
