I went to pick my girlfriend up from work last night. As I was sitting in the parking lot with the windows down, I saw a bug come inside the passenger window from the corner of my eye. Not knowing what it was, I got out of the car and looked around a bit. I pushed my seat forward to check the back, and right there on the back seat was a big cricket. (Can you see where I'm going with this yet??). I had a plastic cup, so I put it in there and let it go outside the car. All this time, my engine had been running, but as I return to my seat and close the door, I notice the "cricket" noise that everyone has been talking about coming from my engine for the first time (395 miles on the ODO). Can you say IRONIC?!
The noise doesn't bother me.. yet.. but it sure was funny the way it happened. Knew I had to share this with you guys.
... and no, it wasn't the cricket I had just booted from the car trying to put up a fight, haha. It was doing it when I parked at home last night.
