   i dont buy new cars cuz i gotta wait until the manufacturer puts out a last model year of their generation and gives it a timing chain. everyone goes back and forth between timing chains and belts for about 20 years and then ya wanna get that sweet spot of it being the last model year before they refresh and change everything again. its a big reason why ive stuck with my 2007 accord for so long. timing chain. last model year of the seventh generation. and guess what the eighth generation got? timing belts. of course now honda is back to timing chains again but the 07 accord is still kicking so im keeping it. you can bury me in it!

     @peemasons Every guy with a VFR I've ever known made a big deal about it having a chain, but they never paid any mind to the fact their wife wouldn't let them ride it more than 200 miles a year

     Gotta commute enough for it to come into play, I guess.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot accord's my daily driver so yeah it's a big factor for me. weekend car is fine for timing belt because i put much less miles on it. could be well over a decade before i have to deal with it. but my daily commuter? im not playing those games.
