We got the car back! It was ready yesterday (Saturday) and we were able to get to the shop after TMBWitW finished work and before the shop closed. The owner had already taken off for the day, but Scarlet jumped in and I followed her home. Started following her home.

About ten miles down the outer loop, on the way to our abode, that noise happened again. Not as bad as on the trip to Kingman, according to TMBWitW, but still. She pulled over, I pulled over, we swapped cars, and I nursed the J30 to the house in direct drive while placing a few phone calls. It goes back to the shop Monday.

*sigh*
