Honda Ridgeline's have a V6 interference engine with a timing belt as opposed to a timing chain. The belt needs to be replaced after 100,000-miles which is complicated and will cost $1000. As an uninsured N.H. Honda Ridgeline it probably never had the belt redone so's crashing through the lake ice saved the $1000 belt redo job till later ...... like much later, and now never because the truck is total junk.

Was it a 2012 Honda Ridgeline?

WMUR April 24 has a video that closes with it loaded onto a flat bed truck and this Ridgeline actually looks to be a good condition except for a smashed roof skylight area. So, where does it go from here? Is there a market for salvage parts or what or does the car get crushed and shredded and then shipped to S. Korea to be made into a Kia Soul or what?
