Great timing

Thought I would share my fortunate fate. My 2000 9-5 SC rounded 130k and I had been holding off getting the timing chain done but finally made an appt with my local indy (RPM Auto - thanks Ross!) to get it done yesterday. We got hit with a Noreaster and 18 inches of snow which delighted me since I just put on the Hakka R's on! SO with Ross in the shop and empty roads to cruise on I headed out (love the tires).
Jump ahead - After the work is done Ross informs me that I am the luckiest guy on the planet. He pulls out the idler assembly and shows me that one of the pulleys had seized and the timing chain had been sliding over it but had held. They figured it may have last another couple miles at the most!
Moral of the story? Do your regular maintenance on schedule and get dedicated snows.
