If you don't mind, get some pictures of it's underside while it's on the rack. And if it doesn't add too much to the tab, see if anything is loose under there. I hear a "thump" sometimes when I put it in gear.

Thanks!

Soooooooooooooooo, I was thinking about doing a signature tribute to you Polk County Trans Am owners. Being a proud Camaro owner myself, I just thought it would only be fair to honor you guys for a while on my signature image:

What do you think of this one?...........be honest!
