    Thumbs up was this a good deal?

    whats up all you 3gee maniacs! i havent been around in a while...(who gives a fhukk ,right?)
    anyways, since my free time is SOOO damn precious i paid someone to do my timing belt swap....
    i got ALL the belts replaced while i was at it. i paid $180 for the whole job. (i bought the belts) what do you think the dealer would have charged?
    i had to go with GATORBACK belts by goodyear (lifetime warranty on all of them at least) because the OEM ones werent at the honda dealer in my area. they had to order them and i was gonna have to wait 3 damn weeks!
    the OEM honda belt was almost $70 too!
    i got ALL my goodyear gatorback lifetime warranty belts for less
    my car is pushing 111,000 miles and i wanted to get it done asap before the thing went. i heard all the horror stories about that shit! (the original timing belt looked brand freakin new man)
    so,was $180 a good deal or what??
