So, glad I can continue to plague Yahoo! Answers with the problems with my new car. I just took the car for a quick spin with a friend and almost immediately noticed a scraping sound. I live in a wooded area and it's common to get sticks caught up and drag for miles so I hopped out and took a look. Nothing.

The grinding/scraping sound would only surface while in gear at low RPM's...I assumed exhaust but it doesn't feel right. I could feel the grinding in the driver seat. It seemed to be coming from around the cat area all the way back to the muffler. It seemed to be in the center or off to the driver's side...whatever it is.

Please, any ideas? I'm thinking I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow with my ABS problem and with this and he's going to tell me to **** off.

Potentially better description.
