Gretta I thought you would have your car by now??? Its been a long wait, hang in there![/QUOTE]

Thanks - it has been such a long wait, but I know it will be worth it. My car has not been put on a boat yet, but hopefully soon. I can't wait much longer. Just in time for spring.

Or, you could just start your car and wait about ten seconds until the belt squeek goes away.

I have the same problem. Also, the steering wheel seems to tighten up at the same time. Makes me think that the belt for the power steering motor is slipping (squeaking).

I've seen you drive in the rain. Hwy 680 raining your rolling about 110 mph with the police following you. How your got out of that ticket, one will never know.

The cop took pity on him, because he was really trying to catch me.

Always pays to be the lead dog!
