Warranty Up!!!!
Well I have gone and done it. I actually put 50,000 miles on my 8 in exactly one year.
Does anyone know which is the first time bomb to go off??? What should I be prepared for to fall apart first?
How many others have reached this milestone to date????

Since your warranty is up I suggest that you try out one of the upcomming FI kits and let us know. :D

Hopefully anything major would have already reared it's ugly head... just keep the oil fresh and happy revving!

While my -8 is my daily driver, I'm on about a 9500/year pace - I work from a home office, therefore no commute, and the primary place I drive this to is as a "kid bus" - taking my sons to soccer games, school, practices, etc. Gotta say that the guys sure love being dropped off in this monster rather than a mom-mobile like all their friends.
I used to drive 40,000/year - was in sales, had a 30 mile commute each way to work followed by at least 50 or more miles a day of sales call driving. It's pretty easy to put on a bunch of miles with a job like that.

...save the car in the garage? I'm at 36,000 in 15 months and I don't regret it one bit. My nephew been driving my previous car (91 Geo metro 4 door 3 speed automatic) as a loaner to work since I purchaced my car. I've got a grin on my face all the time.
Say, is the warranty 50k or 40k, for those of us who opted for the free warranty due to "lost performance" (think Metro again- he he!) that Mazda USA offered?

That's gotta be a record here at least. Have you HAD andy sigificant issues with your 8 in the past 50k miles, and if so what are/were they?
How do you feel about the car now? How is the interior holding up? How many tires have you gone through?
What is your average MPG?
are you still on the original brake pads?
don't keep us in suspense, let us know what we can look forward to.
I salute you cars are meant to be driven, and you have certainly done your part.
