Anything beyond what is required to maintain your warranty is simply for a "warm and fuzzy" feeling. Whatever helps you sleep better at night. "But the warranty is only 5yr / 60k miles" - "I plan to drive this forever!" Well the extended warranty you can buy goes 10 / 150, if desired. Guess...

How do y'all feel about Flock cameras? or Santa Claus? or your favorite god?

How do you have time to live / do anything else besides drive? (and change your oil - which would be required every 7-8 days at 5k or 14-16 days at 10k mile intervals) You've also spent at least $100k in fuel costs. Shoulda bought a Prius. Quick analysis: If we give the owner the absolute...
