Well to start of the crappy day yesterday on the way to a friends my baby started to make interesting squeling noises. So i get to his house and cant find anything wrong.:confused: Well we get hungry so we go get some cookies at the local grocery store. On the way home about 200 ft. from his driveway,the air goes, the battery light came on, and power steering went.:eek: So I wrestle it into hs driveway open hood and no belts are on the car.This is at like 9 o clock. So all the close parts stores are closed so we go one way out in the middle of nowhere that is open 24 hours. We are in his truck (97 sonoma 4.3 FAST) and while we are getting of the highway. Some random idiot throws a brick at the side of his truck. Hits a foot behind the window where im sitting. Makes a great dent in the side of the truck. SUCKS. So we get home and start putting the belts on and find out why they came off. The AC Pump was missing a bolt so it was pushing the belt forward and was rubbing against the sway bar, I believe. Yeah definitely had a BAD day yesterday.

Describe. Did the guy work on your motor, or did he put it in the car?

Well when I bought the car. It had 130,000k miles on it and the motor was shot. So before I bought it the guy but a 16k mile motor into the car. Obviously not very well. We didn't pull over because it was in the middle of nowhere and we figured if they could throw a brick that far bout 50 ft and be accurate we really didn't want to mess with them.

Sucks that they threw the brick, but that's good thinking on your part about not messing with them.

If anyone ever throws a brick at my car...they had better pray I cant catch em'. Did you think about calling in their plates or could you not read them that far away?
