yep, It's car trouble. at first I gave the critical eye to the car next to me at the stoplight. Why are they making so much noise. Slowly it dawned on me that my car's engine sounded like a trapped animal trying to get out.

I called my mechanic and his shop was open even though it is a holiday. I drove my car to the garage, after all it wasn't overheating and none of the warming lights were on and it was actually running. I pretended no one was looking at me.

Something about the water pump and a belt. It's fixable and costly.
