Default When starting her up

when ever I start the car when the engine cold, she makes a noise like something is scraping (real loud) and then you feel like a drop. It only happens when the engine is cold. I was going to wait till next month when I take her in for her oil change but wanted to see if any one knows what I am talking about. No lights come up on the dash board and she runs great. Only other problem I am having is that the breaks are making noise when I break. I apologize if I what I wrote doesnt sound clear, I am watching the Giants game

Hmmmm. If it is really worrying you, then I'd take it in right away. I wouldn't wait for the first oil change. I've noticed that my lifters make some noise at times, but I think that's pretty normal. It always has. But it sounds like you're experiencing something more than just lifters ticking. I'd get it checked out ASAP.

Go with what Dave said, better safe than sorry.

I wish I could hear what your describing, but anyway it doesn't sound good.
