We're going to go ahead and buy that Mazda that I was telling you about last week. My drive into work this morning was accompanied by a sound from the underside of my car that was reminiscent of a dustbin full of wrenches being thrown down a moving escalator. I called my current mechanics, who said, "If you drop it in tomorrow we can take a look and let you know," which is exactly what they said last week. It was dropped in last week, they did take a look, they replaced a couple of bits, they charged me a week's wages, and it's STILL sounding like it's trying to rip itself apart from underneath. I pointed all this out to 'Mike' who said that maybe the suspension needs to settle down after being worked on, and that maybe fitting a new part onto an older axle might have caused a few creaks and groans. It sounded to me like someone making stuff up as they went along, so I pointed out that 'creaks and groans' are the noises that old relatives make when they get up in the morning, whereas the noises from my car are more like grinding, crunching and clattering. So Mike said, "Well, drop it in and we'll take a look".
If I knew what a 'seething' emoji looked like I would put one here now.
