Went back to check the car out/pick it up tonight. The belt broke, but not like I expected. The teeth did in fact sheer off in sections. Some of them broke though, and the belt was starting to come apart, like teeth and outer section. Will have the car back up and running in a few days, real glad I don't have to hunt down any parts. This will also give me an excuse to put on the a/c belt and see how the a/c is for not being used for a year or two. It was completely serviced minus the compressor in 2005 at the dealer, but the compressor squealing when not in use is what caused the belt to be taken off. I however don't mind running it at all times in this 100 degree every day weather. This will give me an excuse to clean it up real nice while I wait on fixing it at least.
