WTF are you talking about?
A) Why do you feel I have a "holier than thou" attitude? I was sating a fact. If I ever owned a car till 60k miles, I prolly would be guilty as well
B)By too late, I meant after it breaks.
I read it a little different than you might have intended. I read it as "you better replace it, I'm telling you because I'm the know all". But I think you mean... "hey man, there's a damn good chance it's going to break so you shouldn't drive your car until after its fixed otherwise you will be shelling out about $500 for a used replacement engine plus whatever the install runs you"

As for the too late part, I'm saying it's recommended to replace it at 60k, but sometimes thats too late for the belt. The belt breaks around 55k sometimes sooner.
