Ok so i lose my credit card @ the atm. I notice when im around the corner of my house tryign to pump gas. I hop back in the car and drive 20 miles back to the atm by my job. @ 3am on the freeway my lights turn on and engine temp starts 2 rise. IM like great. So i peg leg it all the way to the bank maybe 1 mile from where the problem started. I pop my hood and find that my alternator belt / waterpump belt is no more. So its 3 am i have no tools, no triple A, no money. I start thinking of what im gonna do to get home. I search around the car and find nothing useful. Until i came up with a idea. Use my shoelaces. It sounds stupid and it sounds like its gonna slip and it isnt gonna work, but **** i was stranded and it was worth a shot. I took off my laces opened my bmw tool kit and see what i could do. I loosed the alternator with the crappy bmw tools, tied the shoelace to the alternator/ waterpump, tighten the alternator and prayed. I jumped in the car with my burnt hands from all the hot metal. And the car turned over. I was able to drive @ around 55mph in 5th for about 15 miles before it started to get close to red on the temp. Got off the freeway and drove @ 35mph the rest of the way home! It worked. I couldnt belive it. Slipping and all it gave enough power, and enough friction to turn my alternator and water pump so i could drive home 20 miles.
It amazed me that we pulled it off with such little tools. Flash light, bmw tools and my shoelaces. If this isnt the most ghettoest thing ive ever done in my life i dunno what is. W.e. it worked. Its 432 am overhere im beat. Now onto the pics to prove it.
