My first car developed what sounded like loose nut rattling around in a wheel. It would clank when I went slow and vanish when I sped up, like it was pinned to the wheel. One day, I heard some odd clanking and it stopped forever. I never did find out what it was.
When I was a kid, we all understood that the big 3 automakers had brands that were pitched to different income or status levels. For FoMoCo it was Ford – Mercury – Lincoln. For Chrysler it was Plymouth – Dodge – Chrysler. And for GM it was Chevy – Buick / Pontiac – Cadillac. Basically GM had two of its own mid-range brands competing against each other. Maybe somebody thot that was an effective way to expand market share, but it didn’t seem to work out in the long haul.

For some reason, with wheels for “feet”, I wouldn’t think he walked.

That little robot is sentient. Be careful what you say Monty, he isn’t just a machine.

Check the heat shield on the catalytic converter.
Or it might be a lost penny. Check for perforations in his pocket modules.

We’ll worry about it if it becomes a shake, rattle and roll. :)
