Sorry to go way off topic, but a heads up! The next couple days you might not see too many ACTUAL shopping posts from me. Yesterday, on my way to get more grinders and cat treats at Kroger and more toilet paper at Randalls, the unexpected happened. I stalled at a red light. A wonderfully nice gentleman stopped and came to my aid only to find my car was not "jump-able". He did push me to "safety" (not safe safe, but the best he could do considering where my car decided to strand me).
Anyway, I got to take a trip on this wonderful White Chariot to the shop and leave my car. So, right now I am at home carless (wimper wimper) and probably won't get to do much shopping in the next day or two)
So, don't be suprised if I just post matchups or other non-normal(for me anyway) stuff for the next couple days. Seems my timing belt broke and they may have to keep my car into tomorrow!

Sorry about your car, but you were really lucky. I have had 2 timing belts break. One, like yours, at a light and the car just wouldn't go. The other, many years ago, was on the 610 Loop, at 60 mph, in 5 o'clock traffic. The car just shut down and I coasted to the median. Because it broke at such a high speed, I threw a rod and my engine was shot. The car went to car heaven. :-(
Yikes Frances, that would be scary. I am already scared to be on 610, I can't imagine the nightmare of breaking down. I was really lucky and despite my situation was in suprisingly good spirits (I guess age and kids have tamed my temper some :P )
