    Seat belt? who needs a seatbelt?

    Here is a funny one. My son some how got his seat belt stuck. It wouldnt extend further because it locked itself, and I couldnt retract it because it was jammed tightly between the seat release lever and the seat. Had to unbolt one end of seat belt to just to free it up.

    Bad brake grinding
