thanks for links and quicks answers.
yeah, being stranded on the wrong side of the tracks doesn't sound fun.
you convinced me and I'll replace it now.
when i wrote a belt failure was "not catastrophic", I meant that I didn't think it would cause an expensive shop visit.
if the belt breaks, i think it would affect immediate use of power steering, a/c, charging system and engine cooling.
those of you that carry an extra belt in the trunk, has it ever come in handy? have you replaced a belt on the side of the road in the bad neighbourhood?
