Vancouver Bound: Jammed Up

Tom, Nate, and I are on the road northward now, but ever so slowly. Our progress is being impeded by an accident-induced traffic jam on I-5, blocking our lane.

Hmm, we also apparently have something wrong with Tom's car, which is making a nasty clicking sound, maybe something dragging on the ground (hopefully its not inside the engine).

We've stopped on the nearest exit to investigate, and discover that the sound is coming from the fan, but the manifold is blocking our access. Time to buy some tools!

By God, we ARE getting to Vancouver tonight!

(Oh good, its raining again...)

Later: As soon as we buy the tools and get the manifold off and start inspecting, the mysterious noise decides to go away. Well, that's good, I guess... We've decided, with that kind of magic touch, we're quitting our jobs and opening a BMW repair shop in Canada. Hah!

Back on the road, still 2 hours away from our destination. Everything so far is running smooth again. Maybe the border guards will know some good mechanics, just in case...
