Faint screeching sound in the back, while driving

[Kyiv]

For more than a year I'd hear a faint, high-pitched insect-like screeching emanating from the back of the car while in motion. It would not happen all the time, just sometimes. With time it grew louder and more annoying. I've examined trunk area behind the carpet covers more than a few times, tightened nuts securing rear bumper without success. It turned out it was the upper hook of one of the trunk springs rubbing against an earlobe through which it hooks. A few squirts of a lubricant and it's gone!

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Wife locked in trunk?

Wife locked in trunk?

the only place I lock my wife in is the bedroom, and with great success - I've got a son and a daughter. If there was any, similarly measurable, benefit of jamming her fingers in a door jamb or locking her in a trunk - rest assured I'd practice it. Though with each successive "sensitivity", "misogyny", and other such trainings that she goes through at work, the overtone window is closing rapidly!

That's a new one to me. I wonder could the spring be stretched and therefore looser than it ought to be in closed position.

Why do some men prefer dogs over wives?

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

4. Dogs agree that you sometimes have to raise your voice to get your point across.

5. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.

6. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.

7. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?"

8. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

9. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.

10. If a dog leaves you, it won't take half of your stuff.
