I don't question myself for naming my car Christine, cause she seems to have a mind of her own sometimes. I have the lifter tick issue, but after a couple good shakedown runs, she is quiet as a whisper for a little bit. I kinda forgot about her doing this. The same thing happened over the summer, I flogged the hell out of her a couple times and she quieted down for a couple weeks or so. Anyone have a clue as to why? I've known this car since it was new and it got flogged a good bit my family's dealership and then was bought by an old man who barely drove it and now I have it and I'm not hard on it. I probably drive it just as easy as the old guy who had it before. Could it be the way it was broken in and that's why it's not happy being driven easy?

Also, I had a rattly speaker in the door for a couple months and the rattle just seemed to disapear a couple days ago... This car is wierd lol.
