CTt3P5 is an unknown quantity at this point
Dropped her off at the mechanic's for the annual inspection/emission.

And pics of her new resting place...it was a breezeway that really served no purpose.

Werd. one accessory belt isn't really for 'accessories' as it is for vital equipment. It drives the alternator and the water pump. The other belt handles 'accessories' such as the power steering and air conditioning.

And as you might guess, the one that is much harder to reach to tighten is the one that handles the vital stuff. thanks mazda :P

It's all good.. I'm home on break, I don't need to drive anywhere.. and I don't need to drive back to Rochester on saturday, classes don't start until the first week of december

though I would much rather put my snows on now while it's just wet but not raining than deal with that crap when it's a blizzard outside. thanks for the heads up!

wow, with a pic that big, we can REALLY see how messed up they were. When you said it made a world of difference, after seeing that pic, I don't doubt it! lol

NGKs are so cheap I change them a couple times a year, but no real mileage check, just when I feel like it.
