FRAK!! The GTI Bites the Dust!

Today hasn't been the greatest day. On the way to work the GTI just died while driving down the road. Called my brother, Flash, to help me get it home (I owe you big time, bro!). Flash listened to me turn the car over and instantly descided that the timing belt had broke - and he was correct. About 30K miles ago I replaced the timing belt, tensioner and water pump - just trying to keep it well maintained. Anyway, I'm certain that it bent the valves when the belt let go. I'll probably find out more this weekend, but I'm fairly certain that it's dead for now. Now I've gotta get the Beetle up and running for a daily driver. Other than that - this day has really sucked!
