Does anyone still have their original belts/hoses on their car?

I dunno what took me so long, but I finally replaced the hoses in the '98 Max. They were original. The lower rad clamp had rusted away and was not even clamping anymore. Who knows how much longer they would have lasted, maybe years?

I also replaced the belts and idler pulley, they are not original, but the 3rd set. All cracked and such, but probably nowhere near breaking...

All original here except for my PCV hoses but I did a mod so that was by choice. The coolant hose behind the intake manifold split as well not too long ago and thats it. Belts are all original as well
