However, I'm goin...

Yeah I also aggree, if the belt goes, it could seriously fuck with your valves etc. It's not worth the damage. and did you say he didn't service it for 7 years???? now that is a worry. I'd give it a full service quick smart. that dosn't take much effort. I've had my car a month and I'm doing my serv...

I hell want a crutch vent.
The main thing every car that's not a lexus or mercedies lacks is air conditioned seats.
