One day about a month ago I had a similar experince. Im in one of the work trucks (80's ford)driving on the road to the job & all of a sudden the power steering goes out Im like what the **** then it dies. So I pop the hood & holy crap! Belts are shreeded & parts of a snake is there all twitching around? Im dumbfounded when I see this. Im like only this could happen to me. After I cleaned It all up & replaced belts got it running again, went to job site finshed hours later & on the way back I see the other part of the snake in the road it was huge like 3ft plus the ft that got annilated by the belts. Crazy experince. thought Id share.
