    I didn't hear about the knife.
    I was at the VW trailer when the burn out thing happened though. watched him get chased and tackled. I didn't know he got a gun pulled him.

    This doesn't say anything about the State Police. All they do is enforce the law.
    Most other states have a similar law.
    I know in California EVERY speeding ticket is a minimum of $1000. But once you go 10 or 20 over, so does the price of the ticket.

    This was actually the most fun I have had at SoWo. I liked the organization on the show field.

    Did Porsche reserve space? Because they made me move my car. I am not complaining just curious if they were BS'ing me.

    I have no clue I just got the car 2 months ago and the po had the Tb changed less than 15k ago my guess is they ignored the tensioner not home yet tow should be here in like 2 hrs. When i get it back I'll have to check the damage. Pretty sure the head's gonna be done though

    daaaaaamn. that sucks. If the belt snapped He probably didn't replace it at all.
    How many miles are on it?
    How far is your tow ride?

    Did the car have an aftermarket water pump? Metal impellor style? They are notorious for having the bearings lock up and it will rip a belt apart in a heartbeat. Even a relatively new one. How I got my Mom's Passat soo cheap. Someone did belt and water pump locked up, snapped belt 6k miles later. Bent 2 valves on exh. side of #2 cylinder.

    I've never heard of such a problem with the metal impeller pumps.
    Where did hear/see this?

    I mean, besides your mom's Passat.

    It's not extremely common....just luck of the draw. I've been a tech for 8 years and have seen about 10 failures of metal pumps in which case the bearing locked chewed belt apart. In all cases, the damage wasn't catastrophic, but they all got at least a few valves. Just last week my buddy did another one on a local 20th AE.

    But considering the amount of metal impellor pumps running out there, the success to failure rate isn't too bad I don't guess.
