    Now don't spam this about what kind of car you have and crap, But if you have a car and it has a problem then feel free to post what car is doing, type of car, year model.
    Be sure to note any noises your car might be making also, if it has any.
    Maybe you want to know how to make your car perform better.
    Or if you want to know what steps are needed to take care of your car.
    I'm in college right now learning how to be a technician (Thats what they call mechanics today) As I said this isn't a spam thread for all you little kids to talk about what car you would "like to have" when you grow up.

    I'm only 9 weeks into my college so I can't say I am an expert at this stuff but this thread will help me learn more about car problems and help you fix them. This will also help anyone who might have the same problem or will ever see someone with that problem.

    So far I have passed these courses

    1. Basic Engines
    2. Under Car (Suspension & Wheels/Tires)
    3. Power Train (Transmissions & Drive Axles)

    Sorry, not trying to offend, but if I need car help I ask my friend who is a head mechanic at Goodyear and currently about to finish up his major.

    Lets see if you can figure this one out (I already know).
    Honda odyssey 1999, loud low whine while driving, no particular source of the noise was discernible.

    Is the noise happening in all gears? Or does it start whining at a particular RPM?
