What would honestly happen if your belt broke while driving?

Really they're only about $30 for both. I got mine from Riverside Infiniti. There's even a DIY somewhere on here. I think the dealership wanted something like $200 to replace both. It's one of those jobs that requires more time to get ready for it than actually replacing them.

Here's the DIY for the coupes that I used. Basically the same for the sedan. It takes about 30-45 minutes as lexusk8 said.
