Even if you replaced it at 90K and it really will last 110K, that's
still pushing 200K.

No, it's not "pushing 200K", unless you came from one of those families
where math was considered an elitist subject.


Why would you wait until next year and not replace it at 90K?

Because you want to post messages on usenet, saying you "proved" that timing
belts can last more than 90K.


Even at
the dealer's "accelerated" schedule, you're good until 180K, by which
time you'll probably have gotten rid of the car, so why not be *extra*
cautious and replace it now?

Because you enjoy having your vehicle stop running when you least expect it,
perhaps far from home where you have a mechanic you've trusted for years.

You also imagine that you can predict when the water pump will go bad.

Tell your friend to stop being a moron for a day and get the belt & water
pump replaced.
