The service writer seemed nice and told me it could be a worn out alternator bearing or a pully or something like that??? So i schedualed an appointment for next week.
So for those who are curious of the problem, it is fixed. =) It was the water pump...

I can always use more money.... wait, did I say "I can always use more money"? I meant that I can always use more money to help the children at the orphanage... yeah, that's it.

We also told my wife that at my bachelor party, we sat around reading the bible, eating fruit, and figuring out ways to help the children at the orphanage.

I've been good. I haven't heard anything from Mike. I'm sure Mark has been naughty.

There is a space saver spare tire kit available. Not many people got it. It was an option. When was the last time you had a blowout on the road anyway. For me it was over 20 yrs ago.

Yea, most of us got the fix-a-flat option vs the itty bitty spare. But we all got the bracket bonus!

I bet Allen moves these posts to the lounge, he's good like dat

i got the full spare. it maybe have been 20 yrs for you but there was a few times that old spare on my other car came in handy. i figure its better to have one then not when you really need it
