You're a better friend than me...I would have made him bring it to my driveway to be closer to the tools I would inevitably forgotten to pack in my mobile service kit.

4 hours... that was optimistic:p

He couldn't Mike. His water pump was toast and he couldn't make it 3 blocks without it over heating. My house is 20 miles from where his car was. So I just packed up the tools I needed in a portable tool box. We had to fix it where it sat.

I've had to replace an alternator on the side of the road one time in mine. After I got my top end powder coated and put back together the owner of Precision powder coating wanted me to bring the car back so he could take pictures of the engine so he could put them on his website. He had never done an LT5 ZR-1 before. So me and a coworker went there for lunch. On the way back my alternator froze up. Called Orielly's and picked up a new belt and alternator for $130. Me and my coworker got it all done right before dark. So he takes off home and I start the car. It is running like crap. Then I realized that the map hose was not plugged in. It was pitch black accept for the hood lights. So I just squeezed my hand in there and plugged it back in. Purred like a kitten. And I was on my way home. Here's the link to Precision powder coating and the pics of my Z on his website http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/19106580
