I have no car for four days at least and need a way from Stockton to San Jose and back now

Loner is your right. Demand it. I'm serious. I asked for a loner when I had ECU problem. Good luck buddy!

If your still under warranty period they have to provide you with a replacement car if yours isn't available overnight. This is in my warranty contract.

Thanks guys. I'll pull out my contract and be ready tomorrow. Supposedly my car will be ready by noon, but I'm gonna get my contract out tonight

Everything that toyota and subaru did to earn a lot from this car is comming back to bite them in the ass. All the TSBs coming out could've cost them a lot since the cars are under warranty.

My FRS seized up and threw a CEL. Second time. Hope its nothing major.

Pretty much every car has a ton of TSBs all the time. My GTI might have had 100. My Jeeps before that the same.

You guys are scaring me with all this TSB and CEL issues. I have had my car exactly 1 week as of today. Maybe I should hold onto my old Miata for a while to make sure I have something to drive incase I have a problem with my FR-S. One of my housemates works in the auto industry and keeps telling me I should have waited for the 2014's for less problems. If I have any problems I am gonna get the biggest fattest most annoying I TOLD YOU SO, like, EVAR. Wait and see I guess.

I've got 21k miles and 0 CELs.

Wanna sell your Miata? I'm looking for a NA 1.8 or NB with manual. PM me if your serious about selling and want it to go to a Miata enthusiast (my brother).

Since this is off topic and I am thinking about my tiny car, thought I would post some pics.

1990 (NA) 1.6. Currently up in Tracy getting the transmission rebuilt. I am the cars 4th owner I believe. Had her about 8 months now. My first car was a 1964 Plymouth Valient back in 1995, it was RWD, but I was not really into cars yet. This Miata was my first exposure to RWD after becoming a car nerd.
