H.I.N. Seattle.. Who is signed up? Showing..
So I get up today and start the car up before heading to work and I hear "fwapfwapfwapfwapfwap". Pop the hood, and yup....serpentine belt is shot again. The dealership can't get to it until Wednesday. Since it's the 2nd belt I've gone through in 10,400 miles, they have to check everything out. So hopefully, I can get it back right away and still make HIN.
