Well, last summer I used to drive everywhere to compete. I live in pennsylvania, so I would drive up to 4 hours away to compete in street 1-2. There was a show at Autosound in Lancaster, and me being the competitive spirit that I am, I went out there. I know a couple of the guys from team weebee, so after we competed, we all decided to go to hooters. Well, hooters was about an hour away, and we got there with no problems. We had fun for about 4 hours there and we were heading back for weebee when on the ride home I started to hear this funny noise from my engine, but I figured if it's going to break, it's going to break and there is nothing I can do about it. Well, I got to weebee and just as I pulled in, I heard something fall out, and my battery light came on. My heart sank to the floor as I quickly went up to search the engine bay at midnight. It ends up that the bottom pulley that bolts on to the crankshaft had worked itself loose, and now I was 2 hours from home and there was nothing open to fix it!!! Well, lucky for me, I have a friend in lancaster and I caught a ride to his house and the next day I took my car to the honda dealership which was coincidentally down the road from weebee. Apparently when I replaced the timing belt and water pump on my civic, I didn't tighten down that bolt hard enough. It took me two days to get that bolt off the first time!!! Well, as the forum states, it could only happen to me!
