Mods, please feel free to take this down if it's inappropriate, but I just wanted to warn people about their timing belts. This summer, my mechanic suggested I replace mine because it was overdue and I put it off because it's about $900 for my make/model. This morning, well before sunrise, mine snapped in the 18 degree cold and I had to walk half a mile in a skirt suit with no tights and a knee-length coat to a daycare center that thankfully was open. In my preoccupation with a morning meeting at work, I had left the house without my cell phone so I was REALLY lucky that I took that route and not say, I-95 like I usually do.
That said, please keep an eye out for belts, car repairs that you think you can't afford, and keep emergency stuff in your car! *end of PSA*
