I was like OH SHIT and shut the car off, popped the hood to see wtf happened. The alt pulley bearing had failed and got VERY hot before it seized and melted the serpentine belt. I'm gonna take pics of the belt, its crispy, like oh shit I burnt something on the grill crispy. I think its kinda funny, glad it happened when i was going to fix it anywho.

To bad the alt pivot bolt is rusted to no end, waiting for PB blast to do its trick.
removing the alt in those things is a bitcccchhhh have fun lol
