Hoping For the Best

Driving home from work there was a weird rattling sound coming from the back of the car. The very same car that hit the sink hole last week. I could maybe understand if the sound was coming from the front of the car, but the back? My theory: the spare tire on the underside of the car was not tightened back in to place well enough at the tire shop when we got the new tire. But, to be on the safe side, we stopped at the dealership to have them check it out. Of course, by the time we got there (due to an accident backing up traffic) the technicians were getting ready to leave so we had to leave the car there over night. My sister picked us up in the other car to take us home. Luckily, she was already out and about--shopping at Babies R Us for some final items before the baby comes home. Now we wait. They will check the back and the front right under-carriage. I'm convinced they will not find anything in the front and that all the damage was absorbed by the tire and wheel. Also, that as I predicted, the rattling is the lose spare tire. But just in case, cross your fingers.
