edit: thought it was the u joint until i got under there
when the car is in gear it shakes and i hear a clanking noise in the rear or what i think is the rear of the car, almost feels like something is dragging on the pavement while im driving. i put the car on stands but it was dark and i couldnt see very much. i kept her on stands and i plan to go back out there tomorrow after i get out of work

My car seems to run the best when I am pissed at her... Got so pissed this time I ripped the damn motor out...

Sorry to hear about the car, sounds kinda nasty. You'll probably get under her, find out it isn't that bad, then tell her what a bad little ***** she is for using all that power for destruction (with a big evil grin on your face)
