Nuts !!!
This morning,I was backing out of the driveway when I barely heard "ting ting"....so I pulled back in and found the nut had backed off the smog pump pivot bolt and the bolt head was rubbing against the A/C belt....had to glue the nut to the wrench to get it started...this time I added a lockwasher...
Going to be 80 F today...unreal...

But , I put about 200-300 miles on Vette runs each month...so I'm really racking up the miles...higher maintenance,etc...your vette will last longer...
There was one last month I missed that was 500 miles total...a one day run..my bud has 11,000 miles on his C6 Z06 already...

rihwoods,
Lucky you caught it as you were pulling out of the driveway rather than have it happen at highway speeds and possibly do some damage before you could pull over.
I say you lucked out.

One of those pollution gadgets they had in the late 60s that I threw away in 1972 and now I need to buy for approximately $1800.00 (pump and complete setup) to make my car correct. This isn't the first time I have done something stupid like that.
