[V8] donuts and a dead alternator

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ha!  Most likely just packed-in snow.  Drive it a little and it will  
warm up and "unpack" itself.  Played around myself last night.   
Weee! :-)  What was I most worried about?  hitting one of freshly- 
plowed "ridges" that happen when someone's drive has been plowed  
through the street.  Hit one just right/wrong at enough speed without  
a belly pan and the accessory belt will slip right off.  Last time I  
did that it was well below zero Fahrenheit.  Didn't want to do that  
last night.
