Problem identified, solution searched for, problem fixed, and problem prevented from happening again all one 1 post.

If all of America were this efficient we'd be riding flying unicorns with butt massagers by now.

Crap, man. So sorry to hear about the bang-up. Glad you're alright though!

Nice...looks a lot like my dog. Is he a mix? Mine is 1/2 Lab & 1/2 Pitbull, but she looks like a small Lab with a wider head.
He's a pure lab as far as the vet could tell.

A couple friends and I happened to be by Krispy Kreme when the donuts were just rolling off the line and the 'free donut' light was on.


O.M.G. Krispy Kreme right off the line FTW!!!

We also witnessed a kid affixing a generic Turbo badge to a 2012 Focus SE :lol:.

We did laugh very loud. He probably heard us.

Wasting Krispy Kreme is a sin!

CAR! Y U MAKE RHYTHMIC SQUEAKING NOISE FROM REAR END?!

It has the same pattern as a warped rotor (consistent rhythmic pattern that increases with speed, etc), but it has more of a rubbery squeakiness to it. I'll have to check if something is hitting the tire or something.

It also don't hear it at speed, but I don't know if it actually goes away or if the engine, exhaust, and other noises drown it out.
