[s-cars] Died on I4, now no-start

[K.C. Madsen]

Talked to my mechanic and he said the serpentine belt broke.  The broken 
belt knocked the timing belt off.  His recommendation is to replace both 
belts ($500), put everything back together, and see if it runs ok...   
If any additional damage was done that would require the head to be 
removed, add another $1500.. ouch..
