Nothing to do with what you guys are talking about, but Im proud of myself, so I have to let people know.
I'll preface this by telling everyone I am absolutely USELESS when it comes to anything mechanical.
Last week, my BA Fairmonts drive belt tore to shreds, which totally f**ked the car obviously. I got it in the garage, and looked at a few pages online.
On the weekend I popped into Super Cheap and got a new drive belt and a ratchet set (previously had no use for one due to uselessness).
25 minutes and lots of engine grease later, I had it on and running. Surprised myself how easily I did it. I know its probably one of the easier things to do, but still happy I managed it.
Also, it saved me a fair bit of cash, because it was undriveable, I would've been up for either a tow or Lube Mobile as well as the labour.
Anyway, thats my story. Continue with your real car talk
