uh oh...60k miles. it could explode any minute.

Take it to Honda and give her a 60k mile service? I dunno, never owned a car with that few miles.

you shouldnt have to replace the timing belt till 90k. get a valve adjustment flush the coolant, and do an ignition tune up

true, thats only under normal driving conditions. plus honda is pushing the limits of the belts. i rather spend 15 bucks and change it at 60 than have to worry about it breaking at 85K. not saying it'll break but scares the **** out of me. oh crap i gotta go poo...
