hey,
woke up this moring and was about to go to work. so i start my car. my windows covered in frost so i can't see what is going on.
next thing i know. my car won't idle.
so i look out and there is smoke coming out under the hood. burning smell.
my alternator was acting funny latly. so i suspected that it is going to die but i wasn't sure when.
oh well. i got my other accord on the back. so now i have a log and painful day of changing alternators.

oh that sucks....

burning the ole belt off....mustave burned out the alternator bearing as well..

i had that on one of the street sweepers i drove....i didnt realize it was burining until later on that day when the volts were at nothing...and ealier that day i was laughing at the site of the smoke because i though it was only the oil i spilled on the exhaust..ooopppps.
