Clutch was going out, and now is out after a harder than usual drive home (I guess the discussion I was having about politics worked me up a little), and/or it sounds like a brake is dragging or grinding when going slow, so not sure what that's about or if it's clutch related.

Going to be an expensive spring!

Get the new clutch in and the unusual sound should disappear.

It's always the brakes in my cars. Inside of rotors on the rear is where I always find it.

Seems like the rear passenger brake is making a ton of noise.

Anyone have Jake's number so I can complain?

While I can't speak to your clutch problem, for the brake sound, check the backing plate that attaches to the wheel carrier. It's not uncommon to get a small rock/pebble stuck between the plate and the rotor. Also, it's not uncommon for the plate to get bent and rub against the rotor (it's very light sheet metal). Good luck

You shouldn't have stuck up for Melania so much.

Keep us updated.

Yeah, I guess it boils down to me being more of a libertarian, although liberal, but I was leaning more on the other side of things...

Next time I will just change the subject and talk about how cute she is and or how cute our cats are. =)

I'm terrible at this whole car out of storage thing. Brakes sound better though.

Could also be a symptom of a blown wheel bearing. Ask me how I know

No, was a dumb pebble.

Yeah a wheel bearing sounding that bad wouldn't be fun.
