Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for May 23, 2016

That’s pretty much what happened to a Mazda 929 I owned many years ago.

I’ve never even bought a car with less than 90,000 already on it.

I guess I got the glued-back-together pieces….sigh….

They’ve served me well, though…

Sounds about right.

Funny. The timing of the (former) 60K warranty was perfect.

And the warranty just expired.

Good morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Shoulda bought the extended…

I got over 200,000 miles on my Honda CRX. I loved that car.

Good Morning, Grog, Dry, Cleo, Happy, Stel, Shika, neverenoughgold & all CDers.

Must be a 60,000 mile warranty.My dad had a 2000 Nissan Maxima that was at 393,000 miles or so when he traded it in in 2013.

Always happen a week after the warranty expires.

This is why we buy slightly used GM Certified. Save quite a few bucks over the brand new out the door price and actually get a much better warranty…

Why can’t they notify me by mail that my warranty has expired?!

I drove the ’76 Volare I bought in 1986 until late in 2001…and put about 150,000 more miles on top of the 93,000 it already had on it.

$700. Plus….. in 15 years….. one valve job, by a whiz kid backyard mechanic… one rebuilt radiator, one carburetor, a new one only cos a rebuilt one was more expensive(??) …. can’t count batteries and tires…one brake fluid sending unit…. one oil sending unit…. that’s all I can think of.Oh yeah… a water pump… and I don’t do the work myself, so I’m paying mechanics.But the total, including car purchase … still less than $2,000.Besides, a new car probably would have required repairs in 15 years of driving, too.Yeah, it only got 15 mpg, but I drove an average 10,000 a year… no way I’d be ahead by buying a Prius. And it looked pretty beat up by then…

but for me, that’s not a good enough reason to go into debt for a new car.

Good evening, CDers.That warranty works like a charm. Or a curse…

I checked on Lewie a few weeks back to see if she was still living and he is. I really hate we lost Duck and what happened to Al still makes me sick to this day.

One of the guys i used to work with looked just like Al. I sent him a link to some photos and he was shocked. He sent them on to his family!

Good late night and good night Fellow Baby, cleo. SUGIE and all ye’ gathered here!

Nice to see you Susan!

HI TCAR-1!

@D&D ……… reply button won’t work but “back at you!”

Man I messed up both thost first two post I made tonight. I typed ‘she’ for ‘he’ on the first one. Lewie was obviously not female! On the second one I meant to be implying my co-worker was shocked at how much he looked just like Al did in those old photos. He knew who the group was but did not know the individuals until I sent him that photo.

good night people and pets
