Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

i don't know what to say to that. with that many miles? your kidding, right. 80,000 miles is nothing. cars these days, and yeah, i mean a '94, will run 200,000 miles easy. you'll have to fix some things along the way but you don't go around fixing things that aren't broke unless you've got money to burn. preventive maintenance is one thing, but this aint it. i'll leave off now, i hijacked your post to begin with. didn't mean to but in. i just can't stand to see people spending money that they don't need to. one last thing, if i told my mom that she needed a new this or that, she wouldn't need it for long because i'd fix it. i wouldn't point her down the road and think i was doing her a favor. sorry for the rant.
Ummmm, NO. A timing belt is something you DO NOT skimp on. If it has a recommended 60k change interval, change it there or sooner.

You've obviously never seen the damage of a skipped or snapped timing belt. It's not pretty. Anything from cracked heads to pistons punched out the block.

And they're not something you can look at to know if they are on the verge of breaking, either. Early-mid 90s belts DO NOT last 100k miles (you can now buy silicone replacements that will, but it's still not worth going past the recommended change interval).

I've changed a few dozen timing belts here and there over the years. I've also seen mint cars in the junkyards because a slipped/snapped belt put the repair cost too high. The worst was a 30,000 mile Talon AWD back in the early 00s that was in absolutely perfect shape outside the engine damage from a shredded timing belt (not the fault of the belt, judging by the oil/crud in the Tbelt area, there was a long term leak that they didn't fix, and it basically lubed everything up until the belt jumped), but the junkyard wouldn't sell it since they didn't have the title. So we stripped it bare in a week so at least the parts would live on. But it was in better shape than either of mine, I would have much rather have bought it whole and dropped a complete engine in it.

OK, so it was 99 degrees this afternoon. Right now, it is thundering, and hail is pattering against the door and window (9th floor condo). A few lightning strikes have been almost simultaneous with the thunder. Fuuun.
