      Turns out it was me hearing this Led Zeppelin song resonate from the speakers though the exterior of the car...
      I tell you I was very very worried for about 15 seconds.

        Rod knock is an easy problem to solve though. Just drain the oil and refill, but with 75w90 and sell it to someone else.

              Or if you're me, just keep driving it until it dies. My Fit has what I think is a bit of rod knock when it's cold.

              When I first noticed it, it gave me some stress. But then I reminded myself that it's a cheap beater that I'll replace with another beater if it dies.

                  @manwich Probably just some pistons slap then. Don't sweat it.

                      Yeah... I suppose since it goes away when warm, it's most likely piston slap instead of rod knock.

                          I have that shirt too! Had to take it out of rotation before it got too completely trashed. It's great for the ~3 people who get it.

                            In maybe 2000, I was walking through a Frye's electronics store and heard a drum solo on the store speakers. It went on and on, never repeating itself. I looked at the monitors and finally recognized that it was Bonham's full solo. The 17-minute version played in a tiny venue. Told a clerk I wanted a copy of it. After much hemming and hawing, including talking to 3 different managers, they didn't have one - it was a Demo of some sort. And the solo was still playing... I said I still want it. After some more hemming and hawing, they sold me the CD for $10 right out of the player. Still have it and a few ripped copies. That long version is a keeper.
