Get it driven, somehow. I just broke a tension pulley off a Ford Ranger,...

that's been sitting for a few months. Must be the pulley seized just long enough to snap off(it was rolling free when I picked it up..), and the belt was damaged. Today I drove a friends car that's been in the garage since fall. It "popped" into motion(something stuck), and then pulled like the dickens to starboard. It got a little better after driving a few miles, but I guess the brake(s) pads have stuck, rusted a bit. It's in the shop now.

Boats don't mind sitting out winters as much as cars.
