Switching from Honda to Subaru

Somebody (I believe Soviet KGB founder Felix Dzherzhinsky) said that
if
you tell a lie enough times, people will come to believe that it is
true.

I've heard it attributed to the nazi propogandist Joseph Goebbels.

So have I. And to Vladimir Lenin himself. And to a number of other
people, most of them people that I would consider bad. <wry grin> Even
answers.com can't make up its mind who said this first, or what exactly
they said:

Interesting, because I have never heard of a belt change being based on
time, only on mileage.

Check the maintenance list in your owner's manual. I bet you'll find
that all of the maintenance actions say to do tham at X miles or Y
months, and that typically Y = X/1000. With regard to belts and
tires, it makes sense that in time, even if not used a lot, rubber
will age, dry out, and weaken.

Both the local Toyota dealer and a fromer factory rep say mileage, not
time. My mom had the belt on her Camry changed about 8 years ago. 1986
Camry with 87,000 miles on it...

Allow me an off topic aside...

I caught the joke in Cameo's post.

I'll admit that when I was young I thought hunting was barbaric.
However, after talking with some friends while in the Navy who had
grown up in other areas of the country, I saw that the deer population
really is a nuissance, and since we have eliminated mos tof their
natural predators in most areas, something needs to be done. I was so
converted that I wanted to go hunting. I had ben good at archery in
middle school and thought it would be great. Then I tried venison. I
didn't like it at all. It was very gamey. So still have nver been
hunting, and probably won't go, but I'm fine with others doing it as
long as I don't have to eat the meat.

Allowing an animal to actually live a life before you eat it beats
penning it up in a field or henhouse. But I'll admit that I do eat
beef and chicken. Oh well. We can't all be perfect.

May own personal objection to hunting is that I just don't have the
stomack to cut up and field-dress an animal. But that's just me.

Same here. But I have no problem eating Bambi that someone else has killed
and cut up...

Me neither. I just don't want to know how the sausage is made.
