I just reccomend you be careful not to make snap judgements so quickly.

You don't know my past at all . . . In fact, almost no one here except for AkumaKuruma knows even a little.

The "Driving Home" Debocle

On my way home yesterday, the GXL MULCHED all of of its belts (might have been the fact they were old, and I was at 7000RPM trying to merge on the highway) So I decided to write a story about it!

I was driving along the highway thinking "I wonder why all the dash lights are on? I'll worry about it when I get home" (NOTE to people learning about cars: The dash lights being on tends to signify that the alternator is not putting out enough voltage). A minute later. . . "I wonder why I'm overheating." (Note: Without belts, nothing is turning the waterpump, so coolant is stagnant)

I pulled over to the side of 495 right by the Rt 97 exit and opened the hood, to notice what can only be described as "Belt Salad with a side of Wankel." Needless to say, I was rather preturbed. I noticed that the engine was nice enough to leave me two semi-intact belts, the power steering, and . . . the airpump!!
Only problem is the airpump belt was wrapped around all the wrong pullies, and the engine was quite hot (overheating, if you will). So after a good deal of burning, I managed to remove the spagetti of the old belts, and get the airpump belt in place over the waterpump. Then I got in the car, asked God to please let my battery have enough power to get me home (I'm driving without an alternator here) and continued down the glee-filled road known as Interstate 495.

I get home and I ask my house-mate, Mark, to drive me to Advanced Auto (Yes, the one where the clerk called me and Ken "F**king idiots") and I asked for all four of the belts for a 1986 Mazda RX-7. "Sorry, we no have the Serpentine belt, only V-Belt."

After the shock wore off, I told him that the car has four V-belts and no Serpentine belts. He continued to argue with me untill I just gave up and told him to just click the V-Belt button, witch caused the computer to tell us the four belts we would need (GASP!). The attendant told me "We only have V-Belt!" I was still baffled and totally at a loss for what he could be thinking.
I also noticed that the belts are THIRTEEN DOLLERS EACH. I remember a few years ago when I had my Mustang, they were like three, or at most FIVE DOLLERS. Oh well. I went home and fixed the car (yay). (The End)

They usually have a computer turned so that customers can look **** up... I've found that in stores like that, it helps to look **** up yourself (If you can navigate their godawful database.) and find the correct part numbers... Then go up and spew part numbers at them...

Makes them feel inferior and like you know your **** or something, even though you're asking for a mass discombobulator that fits over the camshaft on a 1992 RX-7. Although I'm usually wearing the shop uniform and covered in grease at the time...

Anywho, keep the P/S and Air pump belts in your storage bin. You can use them as prizes or a necklace of some sort...

And I think that if you turned everything off in that car, you could probably get about an hour of driving time in before the battery left you... We should actually try it out sometime.

I did that in my 'vert.

The alternator went when I was still about an hour away from Blacksburg, VA.

AkumaKuruma was with me, I'm sure he remembers :p
