I did that in my last car. Driving up the 101, trying to get there to turn in a paper. I couldn't get a hold of my instructor to tell him I had car trouble and my husband was on the way to give me a ride but I was going to be late turning in my paper which means I fail the class and oooohhh the stress.
I get to SBCC and the guy's not even there. He had somebody in the front office collecting the papers. Dangit. If I'd have known that...
I learned that day that the timing belt is part of preventative maintenance. Luckily I didn't damage anything.
