Need Help Quick!
Ok, So yesterday I was driving and this truck pulls out in front of me literally feet from me and I had to completely slam on my brakes to prevent hitting him. I just thought nothing was wrong until seconds later I hear the loudest raspy noise ever. I thought it was coming from my exhaust, but it just continued. I test drove it last night, nothing was wrong, everything sounded fine. But Now, on my way to school this morning, My car started to shake horribly, (A shake like somethings wrong with the engine.) my car completely struggled to make it up the hill, It has trouble making it past 50 MPH, below 50 MPH, it shakes and makes loud noises from either underneath or its the exhaust and it sounds like something is loose. Any ideas what could be wrong? Trust me, this loud sound is horrible. Thanks guys.

I dont know anyone around here that would even touch it for less than $2k. I personally would probally charge 2650 initially to make sure the crank isnt fubar.
NOTE: Take it to a professionally trained technician to inspect the damage and I can tell you further on what needs to be, and should be, done. But on a ligher note, it could be other, much less expensive things, or much less damage.
If you want to check yourself, change the oil. Check for metal shavings in the oil by letting it run over your finger.

I had a similar problem, but it was a couple things that came out of no where, I needed a new cat, and my throttle body was off or something, my mechanic did that one. all in all that cost about 400.
