for the last 30 years, my car always has a weird noise, that sounds like a spring of some type when I first get the car rolling. It only lasts a few seconds. It sounds like it is coming from the soft top compartment, and maybe it could be the 2 large springs, in the soft top compartment.. I also thought about the trans-axel spring that is under the rear axel area. It's annoying, and doesn't affect anything, I just wish I knew what it is, and do other people have this with their pagodas.
