Yep, the mechanic said he hadn't seen it before, but he also said they didn't get many BRZs in. I put another post on the Issues board for the technical discussion.

Insurance is a hedge against future economic loss. You weigh the impact of the risk and the likelihood it will happen and make a decision. If I had been buying a vehicle with a long track record of going 300K miles without major issues, the lower risk might have led me to pass on the extended warranty. But when I bought my car in 2014, there were very few twins on the road with any significant mileage. It was a new motor, and it was unproven. Seemed like a no brainer to me to buy the extended warranty in that situation.

When people kept saying it was stupid, I remained fairly quiet and figured, "We'll see."
