It sound like a plastic bag actually. Anyways I was gonna pull over a look and suddenly my car shut off and I coasted it into a parking lot. Luckily I was going fast enough to aim my car towards the lot since my power steering went out ,or else I would have be stuck on Holland Rd. Very busy road. Anyways....I get out and look under my car and see something hanging down,so I popped the hood and see that my fan belt had 2 ribs that were shredding off. Well what happened was the belt was whipping so hard that it broke the clip part off my CPS and shut the car off. I called my wife about 8:40PM and told her to HURRY to the Advance and get me a fan belt and borrow a breaker bar. Well she got there at exactly 9pm and the guy was locking the door and going home. But she ran up and told him it was an emergency and what had happened and what she needed.The guy actually opened the store back up ,wow. So he pulls the belt and their loaner belt replacement kit and was gonna ring it up.But then my wife realized she forgot her Visa check card at home during the rush. FU*K !....Right ? No ,the guy gave her all the stuff anyways as long as I promised to come back the next day and pay for the belt and returned the kit. So she brought me the belt and kit ,I patched the CPS to get it home and all is good.Anyways,that guy didnt know my wife from Adam ,but she is attractive so maybe that helped. Really,he took a big risk giving that stuff out with no payment and really helped a customer out. Well he doesnt know it ,but Im going to write a nice letter to the corporate office and give him big props. Im not going to say exactly what he did ,cuz I doubt they would like that,lol but Im gonna make sure he is commended my his bosses .Bottom line is that as said before ,these guys deal with hundreds of customers everyday and they all have different problems. The guy that helped my wife may not know shit about cars.But his attitude saved my ass in a pinch and for that Im very greatful. On the flip side he could have been a mechanical wizard but not given a shit about my problem and just went home.They make mistakes and sometimes its not human error. But what really counts IMO is how they treat you and if they make it right.</blockquote>
