That sucks man... sorry to hear that.

But... I guess the best lessons in life are the ones you learn the hard way. Would have been better to get it fixed right the first time instead of putting your faith in a bungie cord. Luckily it was only your car that got beat up... not someone else's as well.

What pulley did you go with?
