your lucky they are making me pay $31.58 before tax for that stupid thing because i have 50,091 miles on my car and they said that my mazda warranty ran out at 50,000 miles i was mad even though i didn't buy the car brand new. I met the original owner of my car today also she had the motor rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago she said she forgot to put oil in it for about 5,000 miles and it lost power so hiley mazda rebuilt it for free for her. But she was one of those daddy that car is cute and sporty kinda girls so she didnt know much about the car other than she liked it lol.

That would scare the hell out of me too...but at least you have a new engine.

I bought my car used as well and it came from a guy who took good care of it, mostly highway miles, seemed just like new...I got lucky.

I'm at 52k miles...I hope things don't start falling apart.

You're 19 and in Mansfield...what school do you go to? I'm 20, going to UTA.
