2005? dang, what happened?

9/11/2006 12:54:44 PM

what did you do that isnt covered by the warranty

9/11/2006 12:56:11 PM

Yeah, I'm curious to hear about this.

Well to start off I drive back and forth to fort bragg everyday so you can imagine their are alot of miles. I changed the oil every 6months instead of every 3,000 on that car. I ended up bending a rod and instead of them just changing a rod they want to replace the whole engine but claim I Never changed the oil which is bull$hit. But I figured I will just do it myself since they wanna charge 4,500 for a new block when I can just replace the heads,pistons,and rods for about a grand. I am really just looking for the heads, and rods off of a Mazda 6. Pretty kool huh. Now I at least have an excuse to buy performance parts for it.
So I am ready to take the "your an idiot comments".

you bought a new car and tried to save a little money/time on oil - have you at least learned something from this

so how did you just "bend a rod?"

do you rev the shit out of it all the time?

yeah i'm pretty curious how you bent a rod.

even changing the oil every 6 months is ok

highway miles and a good syntheic and you are ok

but just randomly bending a rod doesnt make sense

well im usually pretty rought with this car. I basically speed everywhere I go when I drive it. This is the only car that my foot usually doesnt leave the floor
