Now I did consider the extended for the FRS since it was a new and unknown car but I would have chewed up even the extended by now and have not had to have a single thing fixed.
Damnit you changed the future on us! We were supposed to have all sorts of cool shit by now.

Yup, this thread doesn't change my opinion on the matter at all. I'd still tell the OP congrats, they got lucky. Now it's time to cancel that extended warranty before they piss away all the money they just saved paying for little to nothing for years to come.
That's pretty shitty they didn't cover the headlight mount though. I've heard of many problems just barely outside of warranty being covered anyway as a goodwill gesture.
