I performed my very first car repair!! By myself!!

So, my car was at schomp last week for a few issues. Shortly after I got it back I started to have some rattling going on in the cabin. I was a little annoyed, but have been driving it for a few days because I knew that it wasn't serious, just overly annoying. Today I narrowed down the source of the sound and FIXED IT!

ha ha ha

Seriously!!

For whatever reason instead of putting some change in my ashtray I put it in the armrest. The noise I heard was the coins as they shifted around inside. I removed the coins and now I'm back to driving noise free!

I'm sure glad that I didn't call Schomp!! Now that would have been embarrassing!!

I'm not ready to go get a screwdriver yet, but I am feeling pretty satisified tonight!

Now, what's next??? Maybe Chuck needs some help with his sway bar installation!! If it involves removing money from the car then I'm your girl for the job! I'm good at removing money!! LOLOL

Funny, my girls remove money from me all the time with no problems at all. Must be a inherent female talent.
