<VV> Re: Belt Survey - What is your favorite?

I noticed several have mentioned these great "Long-life" belts but then go
on to say they get several thousand miles on them.  Are these being
autocrossed or what?  I mean, in the following post it may be understandable
being 5 years old, it probably rotted off but as I said in my earlier post,
I get 40-60 thousand miles out of a belt on a corvair, no problem.  I just
buy a name brand belt and put it on.  Serrated, non-serrated.  Doesn't seem
to matter.  It's like a game to see how long they will last:)
