Quanta belts are always flipping over with 'spirited' driving.

I paid a ridiculous amount for a Quanta belt and it was (as in Forest Gump) “crooked as a question mark”

Complete POS!! Really pissed me off, paid about 60 CAD after exchange, shipping, blah blah.

Now I am wound up, that belt just got under my skin!!

The sales person was rude as heck, he would not verify the part number as my car is an Oldsmobile....

I think I need to burn that damn thing to get it out of my system.

I was standing offline when I snapped that pic earlier...but pulleys are perfectly aligned.
