Why did car suddenly start making loud noise?
This morning, I'm driving and after a stop sign, I take off and my car's engine suddenly
gets a lot louder. I have not much wisdom on cars but first impression was that it may be
a muffler issue (since I've had that before on another car). When I get to around 30 mph,
it gets really loud and just continues to get louder the faster I go. When I got home, I
checked the oil and it was pretty low (although never saw the oil light go on) so I added
some oil. Restarted engine later and it's still making the same louder sound. So,
obviously I'll take it in but just wanted thoughts. Also should I get it towed or drive to local
repair shop - I don't know if it would do more damage to drive it there. Thanks.
