To the mechanics on here... how often do you actually see snapped or jumped belts on any motors? Maybe I'm just lucky but I wouldn't bother with the belt.

A matter of avoiding car trouble when my wife is driving through downtown Atlanta alone at night. I don't mind replacing the belt and water pump as a precautionary measure.
