OK OK...here's another one...my girlfriend is teaching me to be to be more tolerant of dumb animals and handicapped people.

Wait a minute...I'm an engineer...I'm designed to NOT have a sense of humor.

Actually I do think you're OK.

John, I bought a high speed polisher. Bring your car by the house when you get a chance, we'll get the scratches out and I'm EOD trained. We'll find out if it really is a bomb ticking and tacking, snapping and popping ... or if it's that Hooters girl you duct taped under your car .... Oopps! :o Did I say that out loud? Let me know bro.

Just add "CRACKLE" and "POP" and you'll have a breakfast cereal.

All seriousness aside - have you torqued your wheels lately? Sometimes you can get a "tick" sound when they're not all evenly torqued.

Just a thought. Let us know what you find.
