Still, how can they prove that you're abusing it (refering back to Nissan about the Z)? I mean, the car is designed to be driven hard... it is a sports car for crying out loud.

My understanding is that the modern computers put into cars today record EVERYTHING that happens in the car...mechanically at least. I don't know about sex, though that would be creepy. I've been told, although this may be another scare tactic, that anytime the CEL or any other idiot light comes on, the computer saves all the information of everything that was going on at the moment. Hell, I've even had techs at the BMW dealership ask my how stable the car felt at 140. I was like...how would you have any clue I've been that fast?

Fact of the matter is, it probably would of broke regardless if the guy was racing or not. Might of been a bad bearing, or bad rod cap bolts or a number of things. Sometimes things go wrong. The engine failed, they'll have to honor his warranty.

I hope thats the case. It would suck to have to buy a new VQ, I don't think they are cheap.
