Was on my way to 2 days at VIR and noted an unusual whining noise that appeared to be coming from the rear of the car. I was about 100 miles from home and called the Ford 800 number to find the location of the nearest Ford dealer. Turns out there was one 10 minutes away. I drove to the dealer and the had one of their techs test drive the car. His analysis: axle bearing. He recommended I just return home and have my local dealer fix it since it could take a couple of days to complete the repair. I agreed and made it home OK. Tomorrow I'll drop the car off the at dealer and will report back after I find out exactly what the problem was. I am more than slightly pissed off. The hotel has a 24 hour cancellation policy and said they would need to charge me one night unless they get someone to book my room at the last minute. I may lose my instructor no-show deposit on the event (although I did call and let them know the situation) and worst of all...I WON'T BE DRIVING VIR THIS WEEKEND! :-((
