So I'm having an odd problem. I let my car sit for a few hours then get in it to go, start it up and pull out of my parking space with very light constant throttle then I hear and feel a clunk as if I had hit somthing small. I'm going probably 3mph and it abruptly stops the car, the weird part is it only happens after sitting and as I'm pulling out of parking spots after that I can drive all over town without a sign. It happened first at school, I didn't think much of it...then again at school a day later..then tonight as I went to dinner, always after sitting for a while, always as I'm pulling out and I can't seem to purposly replicate it after it happens...any ideas, very odd
 
Forwards or Reverse or both? Does it happen with wheels turned and straight? What is weird is if it starts to roll fine then it clunks and stops. I wouldnt say Ebrake, I would say internal, cv joint, hub or LSD maybe mid or rear. Try and pinpoint the sound from the rear or front let us know if you can.
