Thank God for that! 50 miles in each direction would suit me even better....

Trip, why you wanna go around scaring people like that?

Glad that's all it was. I swear I hear a noise back there sometimes, especially in reverse. Did you have any warning noises?
That shot of adrenaline was good for ya Granny

This noise started out sounding like nothing more than a dragging rear brake pad. It was a low volume screech or scratch that was rhythmic per wheel revolutions. After the track stress it became more of a constant screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech.

You're just trying to get me ready for the adrenaline rush I'm about to experience this weekend, aren't you? What am I going to do with you?

My noise (a crunch or grinding) only happens every now and then only for a split second then it's gone and of course I can't get it to do it for the mechanic and they can't find anything. I just hope it's nothing serious but I'm paranoid about any unusual noise.

So, how long will it take to get this one fixed?

I don't know why you can't bring the Titan for us to see your baby. I could drive it while you drive mine and see if you hear anything.

No.

I had a rear wheel bearing go, so now while driving it sounds like someone is in the trunk trying to pull the tail out of a pig. Not the kind of thing I could deal with or trust for a long trip. Have fun everybody, I'll be there in spirit, well that is if anybody is having a beer.
That was very cruel, Doug.

(But I'll take it in the spirit it was intended! )

I was thinking of you last night when I looked at the calendar & saw that the Glen event was on. I really wanted to make this, but like you, my time off is limited. I picked the other direction, obviously.

I'll have that beer for you! (hic)

I could not help myself...

It was a good school, I really had to go because my big 3-day school is the wekend after this upcoming one, so I needed to shake down the car and get this noise from last fall sorted out. It's totally not fun to hear a noise on the last day you can drive your car before 5 months of storage.

thx, enjoy that beer!

I suspect your noise is nothing to worry about, unless it increases in volume and/or frequency, and then you will be able to duplicate it for your mechanic.

Mine should be fixed very wuickly, as the bearings are in stock, because when ya get right down to the dirtly little details, the rear wheel bearings for our cars are the same ones used on the front of a '98 up Accord; oh those clever little Honda engineers...

Oh, no, The Titan would just not be any fun on an S2000 drive, I love my Titan, but it's a truck, not a sports car.

Granny?? You rolling yet?????

We're rolling out of Lynchburg tomorrow, heading to Waynesboro via the Blue Ridge Parkway! It's been a great relaxing vacation so far, and we've had such great weather.

Hurry up and get here, the rest of you! We're waiting for you!
