Default Re: Ran over a parking-space-concrete-block thingy!!

It seems to be running good...I have been paying particular attention to the way it handles and feels...nothing seems to be off. However, I do notice sometimes that when I come to a complete stop, say at a red light, i notice a curious grind sound that is somehow related to the engine/transmission/clutch/something_down_there. I cant help but to think that it may have been caused by the mishap, but I am not really sure.

THe sound that I am referring to stops whenever I press the break. It goes something like this..:

1. Apply break

2. Come to complete stop

3. release break to chill out and rest my foot for a sec

4. Grinding sound comes from under the dashboard (I guess, not really sure)

5. Step on break again sound goes away.


Also, if i dont step on the break, the sound will eventually stop in a few seconds. Im not sure what going on down there, but I would like to hear of someone else experience with such a blunder.
