Over the course of 20 years, and 60 thousand miles, my uncle only changed the belt once, and that was when it snapped. It snapped very recently, about 5 years ago, so about 500 miles ago.

As you can see, the hood turned up nice, trying to keep the car as original as possible. Will probably do the wheels next.
