For me it was when I last bought a new car like 12 years ago when Chrysler was still doing lifetime extended warranties. It was like an extra 4k and a couple people said I was foolish for it, “just learn to fix it yourself blah blah blah”.

In the 12 years since, I’ve had an estimated $15k worth of work on it, to include a full transmission rebuild at a whopping out of pocket cost of just a couple hundred bucks (it’s like a $50 deductible each time or something).

I’ve gotten my money’s worth many times over IMO, and it even saved my ass during a long road trip once.

Ofc it was actually good, so Chrysler stopped doing new ones lmao

    Wow, you must’ve been an early adopter for IEMs. There wasn’t a lot of crossover in the timelines between RadioShack and IEMs. IEMs were just starting to get economical enough (and durable enough) for live shows when RadioShack was going through their big “let’s pivot hard into selling cellphone contracts”. And that was what put the company into a death spiral. You must’ve gotten on the trend pretty early.
