Damn everything likes to go to hell at once.

I noticed about a week ago a slight hick-up at idle when at a light. It didn't really get worse just annoying, I try to pop the hood, yeah that's a no go. The freakin' thing won't give. I set up a service appointment for the Tuesday after the holiday. Driving home from work the other day the stereo goes kaput, just output from the front driver side speaker. Damn it! Then with the radio off I hear it, it's a smack/scrap/huff sound. I guess I should say sounds from under the hood. Not extreamly strong just audible. But I can't pop the freakin' hood to check it out. Argh!

EDIT: Oh yeah, the weatherstripping on the rear drivers side door came off again. :blam:
