    Engine noise?

    When I'm at idle, I hear a loud vibration from the outside (don't hear it when I'm inside with the windows rolled up). It's like a metallic sound... any ideas?

    It's weird, I had a bad dream just a few minutes ago. I was driving and all of a sudden my headlight stopped working and my car started to swerve and scraped my left side onto the highway divider. I took an exit and when I got out the car, there was a fair going on and I saw someone from the school I transferred out from.

    Weird.

    posting a youtube video or google video link to a video clip, like I did for my problem, would help out a lot :p try not to compress the audio though...

    and um, when my donut went bad, sounded like a ricer with a folger's muffler pipe.

    it sounds like the section before the rear exhaust flange is hitting against the rear lower suspension. One question, what's in your trunk?
