mine just broke.

f%cK!!

Your bike, car, wagon, airplane, kayak, etc? The word "vehicle" encompasses a lot of things. We could even infer that the TV Program that you are starring in broke.

my old truck . i was in the drive thru of arby's and as i was handing my money over there was a loud WHAM!! from under the hood. the next thing i knew i had no power steering so i pulled out and parked it and looked under the hood and realized the serpentine belt was gone, laying in the drive thru. turns out the pulley tensioner and the waterpump went out. she was also redlining in the drive thru just after the WHAM!.

$923.76 with new front shocks so not bad. and that was going on a new wheelset but i guess i have no option left but to wait a while longer for that. and i just now got my bike back, literally as in five minutes ago ( it's been away from me on lend out for three weeks) and now it's raining. good grief to me.

Fix it yourself for a lot less.

yeah, i've replaced the alternator and battery along with the old frayed serpentine belt about a year ago and i know i could've done it myself but i guess seeing as how i actually had a little bit of money set aside, i used it. i did try and call the place at about 1'oclock in the afternoon to see how far along they were and if they hadn't have gotten to the rear shocks just yet ( they called me at 8 in the morning to let me know their findings and to get the go ahead, which they did at that time) then to not do them. the truck was fully finished by then. she rides sweet and is smitten with the road once again so all in all, a good deal and i'm happy.

net time though i'll see if you're available!
