Your car is still covered under the factory warranty. Not sure why you would need your insurance to cover anything

btw did everyone who owns the Z abide strictly to the breaking in? Keeping revs under 4k, etc?

Your insurance is really mostly for accidents...not maintainence or wear-and-tear issues.

So what? What's your point? Everybody has to start with A car.

If you want to get the most from your engine and tranny follow the recommended break-in period. If you don't hear or feel anything I wouldn't worry about it, just get that oil changed and keep drivin.

hey i learned on my z also 03 touring db bought the car with 16000 miles now it has 60000 miles original clutch still bites as hard as when i bought it. If ur not a idiot u wont hurt it as long as u know how it works and wut to do to avoid burning it out

PS: it was a nightmare learning on it i thoguht i was never gunna get it lol i remember having so much problems but it was just in the z. i would hop in myu freind gti and my other freinds wrx and had no problem driving there manual cars and then i would get back in my z and have problems the clutch was so sporty not a good car to learn lol

Your insurance doesn't cover you messing your car up due wear and tear caused by hard driving.

Your warranty doesn't cover you messing your car up due to wear and tear caused by hard driving.

Sorry dude

yeah i did learn stick but my friend that tought me said I was actually pretty good lol the only hard part of it was first gear for me and that part made me stall like crazy but the rest i got it down about 6-7 hours of non stop driving. Well i just went to the dealership and I guess what Kmanz saying is right lol they wont do anything because there has to be something wrong with the car when i bought it =[


Thanks for all your help though..

Wish my mommy and daddy got me a new Z when I was 16, thats Northern Virginia for you -- see you on the streets, and please be safe out there.

I live a few blocks from Centreville HS in Fairfax Co. What color is your Z, any mods???

I'm working on getting a Z znd it will be my first stick, i drove an auto at the dealer just because i couldn't take a stick, the guy there said he had been driving sticks his whole life and the first time he got in a Z he stalled it. I'm not new to rear wheel drive or power , but i hope the stick isn't as hard to pick up as some of you say it is.
