Alternator woes!!!!

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

check your lower pulleys... just a thought.  The one with the four hex
heads on it...  I had a problem once where one of them--either the
main pulley or the power steering pulley had come out of adjustment
somehow and they were rubbing together.  I remember the VW mechanic
was really pissed when he replaced the pulley as the whole thing had
become a large round razor and of course he cut the shit out of
himself on removal.

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry lee lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Jesus built my car
It's a love affair
Mainly jesus and my hot rod
