Not only what Carrie said. Even though this is the internet, these are real people and they're doing it for free...

If you followed a mechanic home, parked across the street from him and just walked up as he was getting out of his car and said - "My car hit a bump, now when I drive it makes this funny noise" What do you think his response would be?

Even if he didn't tell you off, he's more than likely to ask, what kind of car? How old? Maintenance schedule? How long? and the list goes on....

Tough to take a demanding stance when you're hoping to solicit help for free from complete strangers....
