[quote=Anonymous]Funny timing belt story: when I was in college I had a car from my parents (it was their car but I drove it). One day I was working at a summer job and was planning to take the car into service after work. I don't recall there being a pressing reason other than the timed service light went on, which was probably surprising to me. It was one of my first "big girl" moments where I was like "I can get this car serviced for my family by myself!" I had some errand to run after work but for whatever reason didn't. I just went straight to the dealership. When I got there they advised to replace the timing belt due to some unexpected failure. The car was 11 miles from the warranty expiring. So it was free. But if I had run my errand or been the one to go pick up lunch for my work friends that day, it would have been thousands. [/quote]
