if by "in time" you mean the timing, that can cause the car to have less power, increase fuel consumption and other things...
But, if your vehicle has a timing belt, and that belt breaks while the car is in motion, - in short, it destroys the engine. Not completely, but the damage - parts and labor - is going to run into several thousands of dollars in a worst-case scenario. If you have a timing belt, and the manufacturer has a recommended replacement interval, don't cheat - it's way huge cheaper to have it replaced on time.
