I love how you always "need" a serpentine belt. Jiffy Lube dude says, "Do you want the bad news?" I get scared. He grabs a flashlight and motions for me to come over to look under the hood. "See that? That's your serpentine belt." Mmhm, I already knew that. "See all those pits and tears and all that wear?" Nope, looks good to me. Might be slightly dirty, but otherwise good. "Well, when that goes, your steering goes, and that could be dangerous. It could break today, tomorrow, next month, or next year. But just to be sure, we can replace it for $89.99" Buddy, what do I like like?...A woman?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

You'll be sorry when it breaks.

I'm sure I will be, and then I'll buy a new one for $20 and slap it in there. I bet if I just had a new one put in the day before, the Jiffy Boobs would try to sell me another with that same tactic. Shady mofos.

Serpentine belt that is what killed me the first time. Air conditioner compressor sieze's up and thus the motor could not turn over because of the damn belt drives everything. I got 170,000 miles on it and the thing wouldn't break. Now I got a new one. Thanks for the invite guys. Slip it might be very dirty after the blow, it was last weekend, but I might be interested. I will call you this Sunday are you going to be around? Joe I could maybe make it on Wed. as long as I am back in Lakeville by 3:30 to pick up my daughter at Kindergarden.. Thanks Paul
