Needs to be looked at car noises in other folks vehicles.
Invariable the conversation went something like this . Sounds like a <insert car part> going to me , if not fixed it leads too this catastrophic failure. Sort of fix it now for 75 bucks + labor or ignore it and fix it for 750 in parts + labor.
The reactions range from my mechanic said it is fine , to enraged mind your own fucking business or even better can you fix it ? Er no I am not doing some involved repair in my driveway in the rain for 10 bucks and a thank you , go fuck yourselves.
Needless to say these days I can hear your CV joints clicking , water pump bearing going , rear end howling , U joints clunking , struts going or transmission slipping all at the same time. Will not say a word just smile n wave as you motor on by.
