No rumble, just expressing an opinion that most warranties are a waste of money (the one exception would be the one on my Carrera) and go unused. There's a reason that insurance is a profitable as it is. Like in Vegas you're betting against the house and the house has a very very good command of the odds and does not get into the habit of losing.

There are several warranties that amuse me - the circuit city "would you like a warranty with that?" is the equivalent of asking if you want fries with your meal - costs them nothing and they make a huge amount of money from it. Consumer electronics are incredibly reliable and your money is best spent elsewhere.

The other one is the "road hazard warranty" offered on tires.... purleeze! Spend enough money on a warranty for something that is very unlikely to happen and would be about enough to buy a new tire anyway. Hmm, that's logical.

I'm sure that there are other equally shady ones that I've seen, but it's late and my head has already gone to sleep.
