I guess so, but if its a 01 or 02, it prolly has 60k+ miles on the odometer, which means you've got 2 years (if you plan to drive it daily and under warranty). Not very comforting to me.... (operative word being "ME")

Well the engine is, but you won't get much love from the guy who lost his engine at the track, slipped in the oil and totalled it into the Armco...
