[Shotimes] Car repairs

[Brian E. Harris]

Erp.  I always flub up the name of this belt.

It's always been called a serpentine belt by mechanics - the car is a '93
ATX, if that matters.  From what I understand, it's the main drive
belt/accessory belt?

This belt has the A/C, the power steering (I think) and the alternator on
it.
