ARGH!!! (venting)

Okay, my serpentine belt just split in half leaving me stranded 30 miles from home at 4 in the morning. I am quite displeased.

Just venting, feel free to lock this thread.

Happened to me 10 miles from home, only had two threads left on the belt. Luckly i still had my 1/2 drive rachet in the car and was able to reinstall it properly and get it home. Theier where shreds of belt everywhere and it distroyed my heat sheilding on my hood. It was the shield near my alternator that torn mine up, what got yours?
