I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND THE CAR STALLED AND HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TIMING BELT HAS BEEN THE SOURCE OF MY PROBLEM, IT STRIPPED OUT THE TEETH ON THE BELT. WHY WOULD CHEVY USE A TIMING BELT WHEN ALL OF ITS OTHER CARS USE CHAINS, WHY NOT MODIFY THE ENGINE THEY BOUGHT FROM DAEWOO AND PUT A CHAIN ON IT. *TR
