If the timing belt snaps in our cars do we have a safety that prevents our valves and stuff from getting screwed up? I was driving home Christmas eve, heard a thud, and my car just stopped going. The car cranks but wont start and listening it seems like nothing in the top part of the motor is moving which makes me think my timing belt broke. I'm hoping the motor is ok and I can just change the belt, but maybe I'll be forced to get a new car sooner then I thought
 Merry Christmas to me

Hey man, I'm right there with you. I was coming home for Christmas from Albuquerque, except my tensioner pulley locked up and literally melted my timing belt. Luckily I was already 20 miles from home. Replace your water pump while you're at it.
