Yesterday when I was at Atlanta Chassis Dyno to pick up the injectors for the Dart, I saw them dyno testing a recent Chevy pickup with a centrifugal blower. They were just getting started on the dyno pull when I suddenly saw a chunk of something black fly out of the engine compartment. 
Then it started leaking coolant everywhere. Turns out that the water pump pulley had come apart, leaving a hand-sized hole in the radiator shroud! Yikes.

I thought I saw it at that tranny shop on Cobequid road, but maybe it was a different one. The one I saw was orange with a black stripe down the side.
