Mini-heart attack...

I'm posting this here 'cause I know my old fart friends won't laugh at me....


Yesterday, when I was driving to the Seahawks practice, I heard a rattle... My stepson looked at me like "Uh-oh, the car's gonna die". I turned down the radio, and listened closely. Every time we hit a bump, the rattle was really loud. It sounded like it was on the passenger side somewhere.... I slowed down, and we were trying to pinpoint where it was coming from. I looked at all the gauges, checked the DIC - nothing weird, except a reallly loud rattle. I said, "I guess I go to the dealer right after practice..." Then my stepson pointed at the dash just as the rattle got really loud again. Ladybug had just had the A/C worked on, I thought maybe that was the problem... Then a lightbulb moment.... I told him to open the glovebox and take out the front license plate. Next bump, no rattle! LOL! I would have felt really stupid taking her to the dealership for that! My stepson and I are now master mechanics....
