Car fun. Also how leveraging collective knowledge helps people do things beyond their skill level

Car broke down a bit north of Vallejo but I managed to repair it using only my phones Internet connection despite my total lack of car knowledge.   Mysterious undocumented engine belt that broke and caused noise and fumes turned out to be "unnecessary" to core function of car.  It ran the A/c system.   Eta now 11pm.
