We were getting ready to head to the big city Friday as usual, we head down there about noon to get the weeks supplies and then pick up the nephew for the weekend and.. Start the car and it feels weird pulling out of the driveway, it has this rumbling feeling as we back out.. I feel it because I'm driving, mom doesn't notice.. As we get to the edge of the driveway I think well is it the tire.. The right rear is giving us troubles.. So I check it and it is low but not flat completely.. All the other tires are full as well, that's not the issue.. I hop back in ad the dash lights are all kosher except for one.. CHECK ENGINE light is flashing.. The last time the check engine light was on.. solid on and it turned out to eventually be the thingies.. Technical talk I know I just lost you on that one.. Anyway that effected how the engine ran.. This right now did a little.. So.. We test drive around the block as the light blinks and stays that way.. We get back and I shut the engine off.. Start it back up again and it runs quite well.. then we decide to take the "life raft" car the 'vic ... When we were getting ready to hop in the other car I noticed a foul smell.. Rotten eggs and instantly I thought catalytic converter.. Why I thought that I have no idea I know more about the car.. Where the gas goes.. and that's about it.. I Google it just now and that sounds like what it is.. But after we get the vic ready to go and it's gas gauge is nearly on E.. For some reason we won't go into now.. And as we are going down the road mom is saying well could it have been the tire?? No, it's not something that would show engine trouble.. My feeling was catalytic converter.. Her hopes is that it is the rubber band that we wind as we are ready to roll down the road.. Not that either.. Guess we'll find out who is right..
