the car has been "abused" (driven by a-holes) for about 1500 miles this week. last nite, after driving a 110 mile trip, i heard a semi-repetitive "chirp-chirp" (like a turntable scratch) whenever i turned the wheels, but not in a constant rythym. threw a coffee cup's worth of water on the ac belt and main drive belt, and the h20 on the main seemed to squelch it....do i need to change it today, or can i just carry a spare, keeping in mind that the car will be driven 500 miles today.....i'd rather get das german part from our men in so-cal and put it on my revolving tab, but i'd have to be at the mercy of autozone if i buy and install one today.
