I will not comply. I will not lie down. I will not go quietly. I will not submit. I will not roll over. I will not shut up.

I don't know much about cars but I think you have to tighten that belt.

Tighten it or replace it. It probably has an automatic tensioner on it... I actually fixed my neighbors car for him once because I couldn't stand listening to his squeaky belts every morning at 6

Did you replace the belt when you replaced the tensioner? Belts get stretched out over time.

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

There's also some anti squeak stuff you can smear on it. Never had any luck with that stuff myself though. Is cheaper than a belt though, so it's worth a shot.

And some guys are intimidated my a woman that knows more about cars than they do...

Not this one. I love hearing you say "crankshaft", and "clutch"

Alrighty, then. I'll stay out of conversations I know nothing about. I never knew there were 'automatic tensioners'. LOL
