Did she get upset about that noise? My wife would have been stressed out!

My wife can hear me mutter under my breath three rooms away and on different floors, but a car noise - total deafness. If it starts when she turns the key - no problems there. I'm 50-60% deaf in my right ear and 25% in the left (thanks, US Army), but a car noise to me - it's like a ricer with booming bass.

The local Ford dealer - $105/hr (wait, that was 4 months ago )

Dave W my wife has the same selective car noise filter. Maybe it only comes in the spouse model?
I can get into one of our two cars and instantly identify a funcky noise. The last one was a terrible high pitched metal shreaking sound when ever you went over the slightest bump. She had been driving that car for weeks and never noticed it. I was stumped for about three days, when one day I finally figured it was coming from the passenger front wheel well. It was a valence sheet metal panel, that was hanging by it's last rivet, near the front shock absorber, when I found it. After the truck was fixed, she said, "hmm I never heard anything!"
Now if I was to mutter some snide comment say, in the garage, and she was within 50 feet, she'd nail me for it
