The Sound Only He Could Hear
My husband has a superpower: he can hear car problems that don't exist yet. The latest crisis? A faint whine from a part that's not even broken.

My husband has a superpower: he can hear car sounds that are completely inaudible to me. The other day, he detected a faint, almost imperceptible whine from the engine—a sound that only he could hear. To him, it was a sign of a looming problem with the cooling fan. Without hesitation, he ordered a new Replacement Cooling Fan Assembly, OCPTY Replacement Cooling Fan Assembly for Chrysler 300M/Dodge Intrepid/Chrysler LHS #ad explaining it was an exact-fit replacement that would fix the issue before it became a real problem. The next day, he quickly replaced it. From my perspective, the car sounds exactly the same as it did before. But in his world, a major issue has been averted, and for a car guy, there's no better feeling.
