I was given one of these for Christmas two years ago.
It works great, but the cup is worth about $3 and the lid broke. Essentially, 
you are paying $37 for a powdercoated piece of wire with a plate welded to it 
so it can attach to your ash-tray, but I haven't seen a better solution...

The timing belt should be changed between 50k and 60k.  I'll change mine at 
50k because the car will see track time. You shouldn't have to worry until 
107k at the earliest.
