CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

The timing belt is not there on this site:

Or is it another name?

If the car is very well look after, you could push it to $140k but I personally wouldn't recommend any higher than 120 just in case.
I did mine at 103,000. If you have the funds, do it once it hits 100k. No point doing it earlier, otherwise the following one will come up quicker.

I already did it cause A) my water pump was shot... badly...
B) my steering boots needed changing
C) my tie rack needed changing...

so i got my timing belt done as well since its too much work to get back in there later when it eventually came to changing it... Owell in total the service + parts and labour was 1300. Wasnt as much as i thought it would be.
