My stupid Mom just told me she has 103,000 miles on her '00 Civic WITH THE ORIGINAL TIMING BELT! Sounds like a time bomb to me, they are only supposed to go to 60,000!

Good thing the car is so new because at least it won't leak oil and mess up the belt. She is getting a new Civic within the month, I just hope it lasts.

A timing belt will last exactly as long as your pistons aren't crunching your valves.
