The timing belt on my car broke--This sucks! It happened to me right before I crashed my car and I paid A LOT of $ to have it replaced. Then, right after this happened, I totaled my car :( How did you not know your timing belt was in the proceess of breaking though? I knew right away cos my car was doing all this annoying bullshit.

I'm tired all the time--I just found out I was anemic because of a lack of protein in my vegetarian diet. Maybe this is the case w/ you as well. I started taking iron pills and feel a little more energetic. EAT (free-range) RAW EGGGS.

im really responsive to my cars needs... the answer to your question is very technical and has a lot to do with the fact that there had been some electronic firing problems for awhile that i had JUST gotten fixed... and the car was running fine
usually the belt SLIPS before it breaks... causing it to jerk and do "annoying bullshit"...
however this wasnt the case with my car... simply put... when doing the other work that belt had been removed and reattatched too many times and wore out in a way most belts dont. The teeth didnt slip (luckily... this usually causes the timing to go so far off that a piston will actually make a HOLE in the engine head, or the cam itself).
Anyways the car is fine and it wasnt THAT expensive cause there was no damage to the engine cause im smart and didnt keep trying to start it after it died.

ps I'll try to get more iron in my diet and see how that works.
I cant eat raw eggs though.
revolting.
