3 fan belts (2 in very bad situations) and probably close to 15 p/s belts. :S That's over about 3 years.

I broke one in my fairmont about 1.5 years ago, and I havent done one in my XR8 (yet) in the 8.5 years I have owned it.

None! I had one replaced because it didn't have much life left in it, but I haven't broken one. But my parents nearly cooked their EBII when one let go.

I lost one fan belt on the old EA over a 3 year period.
Hopefully I never lose the serp belt on the EL 5L.

I snapped the alternator belt the other day on the way to work, was the first one since I got the car in 2000.
I had to walk home (15mins), jump in the LandCruiser, drive to bursons, drive back to the car, change the belt in between rain showers, drive the cruiser back home and walk back to the car again to go to work! Alex

Lost my fan and Altenator belt twice on the eb wagon and the third almost let go. My pully's never lined up. Couldnt figure out why, probably just designed wrong to start with.

Powersteering belts, i threw on average one a month last year. Alternator belts I've thrown around 4, all within 4 months of each other, usually because the PS belt took it with it when it went off... No problems for about 8 or 9 months now though...
