Emergency belt replacement?

Question:
Recently, I had a belt break and was stranded for several hours in a remote area. A young lady happened along and I asked if she could give me a ride into town to get one. She said No, got out of her truck jerked off her panty hose and handed them to me and said these will work, til you get to town for a new one, jumped back in her vehicle and drove off.
Ya know, i was in total shock. But, i tied those on the pully's and they worked. Got me the 45 miles to the nearest town. Anyone ever have this situation.

Answers:

I have a 98 taurus It turns off when it gets warm it doesnt overheat but it wont start until it cools down?

Yup, it's old school. Works OK on V-belt systems sometimes but not on serpentine belt systems.

working on a 1992 ford explorer?

Yes, but I've never tried it in a serpentine belt setup. They work on the V belts just fine though.

Is there something that will disolve "blue locktite"?

yeah common knowledge in Aussie a lot of things will replace a belt for a short time BUT keep speed down

Check engine soon light no stored codes?

Yes! it's amazing ..... that happened to me too but I don't know whats about that pully business. When my belt broke and I got the donated panty hose I tied the top to my back belt loop and placed the legs over my shoulder and tied to two loops in front and drove all the way back to Tennessee.

put oil in car small fire from spill cleaned engine anything else i need to do car runs fine?

Also hear that plastic tie downs will work in a pinch. Amazing what the mind can come up with.
