[AT] OT - Generatorbelt exchange in 5 seconds

[David Bruce]

A '79 Colt was my first car after college.  Interesting little thing - 4 
speed with a split final drive.  Following that I had an '83 with the 
same drive train.

When college a friend had a Chevy Vega with a 400 small block.  90 mph 
in second gear.
