<VV> Unique fan belt keeper-oner

[Bill Elliott]

I've seen it happen!

Mike Stillwell and I were headed up to Summit Point. I had just gotten in 
the car (that I'd just sold to him and which had not thrown a belt in years) 
and he mentioned something about not even bothering to carry a spare belt. 
The belt threw AND shredded itself before we even got out of the parking 
lot! Instant Karma!

I don't think the car ever threw another belt for him.

So years later I'm in WI (in the same car mentioned above... repurchased 
from Mike). I had just purchased on an old Corvair powered dune buggy and 
had used my spare belt (which I always always carry) on it while I waited 
for my Clarks order. First time since the previous incident I'd been without 
a spare belt in the car... 10 miles from home... no cell phone with me.... 
bam! Thrown and shredded....
