Wow Dave! Say it ain't so!
Sorry to hear about it. First time I've heard of this happening.
Have you had the pulley off the car before?

...I'll say. I was behind the banana, and it was hell keeping up.

Sorry about your luck. I hope everything works out.

Well Dave, I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I wish you quick recoveries.

Maybe you could get a little oil blowback and find some Ranch! to help ya out.

Life is good now. Back home and have had a chance to hug my Lady finally .

Car running tip-top. I'll be sure to write up something nice about Crown Honda in Greensboro. Top-notch folks! . Wished I hadn't had to experience all this...but all things being equal, they made the experience bearable. (just thought I'd slip that ol' phrase in one more time )

- Dave

Bummer that you had to experience Crown's hospitality, but glad to hear the nanner is back on the road. Just let us know if we need to persuade some folks into a mass headlight clearing to help foot the bill!

No doubt . A weekend like we each experienced comes with plans to spend ~ $400 or so. No way I would have anticipated over $2000 worth of expenses as I was returning home Sunday night .
