Now about that sound you heard, I have a theory ........ comes from back-in-the-day, when I lived in Danville and rushed to work in Richmond.

"Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
The lines on the road just look like dots."
Took a corner; sideswiped a truck,
Crossed my fingers just for luck.
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts.
The guy beside me was white as a ghost."

So, just don't hit the guardrail posts .....

Holy crap! You're hitting side posts? I would be as white as ghost too, finding out that I'm hitting the posts.

I didn't know you live in the bay too!

I lived in Danville for a couple of years, back in the wee 70s, when it was a sleepy little cow town. I had a 1956 Ford, step side pickup truck, painted fire engine red, with wide, chrome reversed rims with baby moons and powered by a Chevrolet small block V-8.

No, I didn't do that to the truck, I bought it off a Mexican kid that worked at the pilot plant, which was part of the research center where I worked.

Paid him $800 cash and drove it home to Danville; my then wife exclaimed "where are you going to park that thing ....... surely NOT in front of our house" .....

She is now my ex wife.

(it looked a lot like this one ..... )

Well, that truck came with a I6 engine.

Yep, in 1932, Ford started putting the V-8 (flathead) engine in their cars.......
