Timing Belts & Antifreeze, etc.

This is what 98k miles looks like.

I doubt the last 8k miles are when it started looking so bad, but certainly
at 8 years and 98k miles I was lucky this belt didn't let go.
BTW, I have seen teeth strip out of an externally perfect looking belt, so
just because it looks good, does not mean it is good.
