Wow. So I take it the belt didnt snap completely?
went to pick up this:
less than 5 miles off the lot:
= impromptu timing belt change:
Thanks to the DSM guys I met in Jacksonville, we were able to get the car back on the road. Nicest bunch of car enthusiests I have ever met. I gotta thank John (Johnathansgalant) for coming along on the road trip and helping me drive it back.

7g for life!
damn. yeah, DSM guys are usually willing to help.
Most EVO owners on the other hand would just look, watch, then leave.
nope. we were pulling into a friends apartment complex and started to hear a *Swoosh, swoosh swoosh* sound. We drive it 50 ft and park it in the garage and found that the sound was coming from the T-Belt cover. We pop the cover and slowly crank over the car and found that.
did u sue the seller's face off
no. theres no florida lemon law and I acknowledged that the car is sold "as-is". when test driving it tho, it was not making any sounds or gave any indication that it was about to snap. It was bad luck. I know if maybe 1 or 2 more person tried to test drive it before me, it would have broken then.
he duck taped it before you test drove it. lol
hmm i see this going to be a great beginnning. DSM love
