Story time.
Monday we took our FR-S on a drive up on Mt Rainier. All week I had been reading about spun rod bearings and TOBings going bad. On the first long, hard pull, I swear I heard a knocking from the engine, or was it a pinging??
OMG, it's number 3 rod bearing, but maybe its the TOB, but maybe the piston skirt is slapping against the cylinder wall … but at altitude, the 92 octane gas should not be pre detonating 
Oh well, so be it .. stranded on Mt Rainier .. we have extra water .. someone will find us before we starve to death .. then mrs humfrz snaps me out of it by yelling at me "are you going to pay attention to driving this car OR keep dinking around with the GoPro ?? (which is mounted on the dash).
Now, by overthinking all this shit, I was about to wreck up my drive around the mountain .. 
THE END

Beautiful mountain. Spent five days at the Paradise Inn with the wife for our honeymoon last August. We had some sort of cheap Chevy compact for a rental. Would've been some great driving roads in another car.
I guess I got lucky when I switched the transmission oil to Motul. Didn't have any of these sounds. I could see myself getting a little paranoid hearing that.
