It is also way cool that my American Classic wheels had bad bearings and an improperly built freehub from the factory and now an $850 wheelset is sitting at an authorized repair shop on the other side of Atlanta as I type this. Burning a half tank of gas and half a vacation day driving up there was so freaking awesome. The fact that they are sending parts under warranty has me really stoked!
Failed parts are always great and that's why I love my Whirlpool washer and its seven warranty events. It's so boring when things are as reliable as manufacturers claim and just work as designed. Thinking about selling my Honda CRV and getting something that breaks more often. That would be cool.

Mazda Tributes can be fun that way. I spent probably over 3k on mine from several issues: rear main seal leak, front main seal leak, piston pushing a spark plug out of the cylinder and stripping the engine block (which also blew apart an ignition coil), and replacing the seal in the rear differential.
