The engine being totaled was your fault, always change the timing belt on or before its due to be changed.

Sure... because the consequence for being 1 month behind on regular maintenance should be complete destruction of the engine with no warning.

I mean. I accept that there was negligence on my part there. But it wasn't a huge lapse and that is the crappiest of crappy failure modes. Never had another car as finicky and high maintenance.
