Unhappy waiting for the tow truck

Well, looks like Bob's going to take a ride on a tow truck!

Left for work this moring and noticed the AC wasn't working well. Kinda drove around the block before I got on the highway. Then I started to smell burning rubber ans smoke started coming from under the hood. I pulled over and got the hood up just in time to hear a belt snap!!

I was a couple blocks from home so I'm sitting here waiting for the tow truck. Of course my dealer service dept. is close today and I hade some work scheduled for Monday. I guess I'll need to cancel that!

THIS BITES!!

Sorry, Mike...

You put a lot of time into BOB. Did you make any determination as what caused the belt problem??

I'm thinking the AC. It stopped blowing cold and that's when I got the smell of buring rubber, then the smoke and snapped belt.

Ouch....so you think the a/c compressor froze, burned the belt and it snapped.

You're still under warranty, right?

I love the back end of BOB. I hate my stock bumper.
