So today I had to run a few errands... Took Ron, decided this was a good time to "blow the carbon out" (you car guys know what I'm sayin'). The A/C was so-so at best anyway, but it would do... Not anymore. Motor started dragging down at 4.5k rpms and then I heard it.

Gravel...


From the A/C compressor. ~sigh~ And it got warm.

Good news is they are relatively cheap... Bad news is... Well there is no bad news as I don't need to use this car for a couple of months.
