The Landshark after Dark

The first drive in the dark.  The headlights work great.  High and Low.  My fog lights are burnt out, but, it was a clear evening.  The banshee shrieking under the hood was not power trapped in the engine, but my failing fan belt.  This led to overheating and a nice slow 20mph drive home for the last 3 miles.  I am pleased to say that all my hoses held.  I have a new fan belt already, it's going in this weekend.  I'll be biking to work again tomorrow and Friday.  A mixed effort by the Landshark, but a good result in the end.  I arrived home, all seals and hoses intact, slightly warmer than I would like from running the heater full blast.  He drove well under duress.  I need to keep a gallon of distilled water in the trunk.
