The mechanic's verdict is in: Francine turned out to be suffering from a dreadful case of "pebble in the hubcap" disorder. Some other minor work will be done in the form of replacing a blown strut that was discovered in the course of the inspection, but it is well within the budgetary range for such things.

Francine, you have received a stay of execution...for now. But rest assured that I can still turn you into CDs at a moment's notice.
