question

I didn't know where this should go so if the moderators want to move it okay. I live on the east coast and have to be at work at 6:00 am, since it's been getting colder I've opted to sit in my car until 6:00 since the won't let us in any earlier. I have let the car run and five minutes into the run the car makes a squeeling noise, it happened again today when I was at the drive-thru at McDonalds. Has anyone else had this problem?
And before I forget I know there is a thread about TV mini spotting I just couldn't find it . But on All My Children there was a hyperblue S and on tv show Bones the character Hodges has a CR/W with white bonnet stripes. It was refered to as a "toy car".

Hard to tell from what you describe, but you're saying that the squealing happens with the motor running but the car NOT in motion, correct? In that case, the prime suspect is usually a belt. Can you get out and check under the bonnet for a general location? ALso, let us know what year and model you have - that might help.

Thanks!
