Weird Noise
I replaced my wiper switch and it works, but ... there's always a 'but"
I have a new noise when I start or shut off my car. It sounds like a
spring unwinding or pressure being released. The comes from the area of air conditioning vent right below the switch. It is barely audible if you put your ear on the windshield wiper door, but you can hear it clearly from inside the car when you shut off the engine. I removed the switch and the noise is still there. I would appreciate any help anyone could offer. The car seems to run fine, but the noise......
Any ideas?

Here's my "weird" noise...
So, there I was driving along I-35 southbound, headed home from a lunch cruise with Ray and Donna... We had gone to Magehees Catfish... The Vette was making noise , it was "following" tire speed, not engine speed... I called "the Master" Elio... He was going to intercept us near TMS... I was holding 60mph when the "bomb" went off...Normally I drive with both hands on the steering wheel but I was coordinating the join up with Elio... The car shook, dirt and long lost items were flying all around the cockpit and the back tires locked up I think.. at least the right rear did ... and I ended up OK but dead in the water on the side of the road in front of Alliance Airport... All my friends with trucks and trailers were having issues of there own so TX AAA came and slid the car up on a tow truck and took it to Rich Hall at Victory Lap.. They have done work on the car before and Rich is a long time hot rodder... We never did find the drive shaft ... It did some damage to the rear of the transmission case as it tore itself from the car... I anointed two red Corvettes today .... Ray from following me and Elio from following the tow truck...
