Well, since you asked.... On my way back from the ND show I was passing a 
semi truck full of bark puking logs. While executing a pass one peice of 
bark went into my engine compartment and sought to break my timing belt. The 
bark won and my car is in Eugene right now with 3 bent intake valves.

Moral of the story: ALWAYS PUT YOUR TIMING BELT COVER ON AN INTERFERENCE 
ENGINE!!
