Engine Making Terrible Noise??
I just pulled up in my garage and it sounds like there is a pinball knocking around in my engine. Sounds terrible. Anyone have any clues to what it may be? SHould i have it towed to the shop? Never have had any probs with my car.

You're going to what to get a video of it for two reasons. One, if it magically stops, and the dealership or shop can't replicate it. Two, I WANNA HEAR IT!
