Broken belt at the worst possible time

Went out to the 944 a moment ago to run an errand. Started up, then a little pop through the intake, followed by expensive noises. Engine will not turn now. I know what happened, the damned belt broke, with only 20,000 miles on it.

I am two weeks away from closing on the sale of my house in Denver, and then I will be moving to Virginia. All of the rest of my vehicles are already there, so I now have no transportation. My garage is full of the stuff I will be packing into a truck, plus it's cold, so a work space is problematic. I really haven't the time or the money to deal with this right now. What a friggin' pain.

Thank you for allowing me to vent. Now, back to our normally scheduled programming.
