problem #3

Grand Prix

  • miles
In July of 2000, I was at restaurant's drive-thru window. When I turned to exit I heard a loud pop and the steering went out on my car. The car was still driveable, but there was no steering. I struggled to steer it to a parking spot, which I could not do. Luckily, a construction worker saw me and offered to help. He got in the car, and with great effort, managed to steer the car to a parking spot. He opened the hood and we saw that the serpentine belt had come off. I had it towed to Pontiac in burlington, ky, where I purchased the car.
