Check this out. Timing Belt/Head Gasket

Alrighty, so back in october was dropping my lady off after a date. Leaving her house i'm sitting at a stoplight, light turns green, lift off the clutch and car dies. Go to crank it and just hear the starter whine, so i let it roll backwards down into the turning lane. Tow it to the shop, pull off the starter, works fine, turn the flywheel and the timing belt doesn't move. So 2 weeks ago finally pulled the motor out, pulled off the timing cover and their were teeth sitting in the bottom of the timing cover.

All the teeth around the crank pulley were gone.

Also an interesting note, when looking at the headgasket, notice on the top left that one of the coolant passages doesn't line up. This is an OEM head gasket that came w/ the car, all other coolant passages line up.

Did the motor seize and strip the teeth?
