Hi,

An aftermarket Warranty can be an excellent thing for those who cannot, or simply do not want to work on their own vehicles. You may have no need for it, but there's comfort in just being 'insured'.

Personally, I have never worked with my hands in any job(s) I have held since college. This is one of the reasons I own collector/performance cars, so that I can wrench on them. For me, it's better therapy than Bass Fishing or a Thursday Nite Poker Game.

Several years ago, just for '********************s & Giggles', I earned both an ISM CIMM (Certified Industrial Mechanic) and an ASE certification. I don't want a car I can't work on, for me, it's an essential part of the package.

In fact, one anniversary, Mrs. MNBoxster bought a LawnChair and a 'BoomBox' so she could spend time with me in the Garage - me under the car(s) and her in the Lawnchair reading a book and listening to music. Whatever works I guess...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
