Autocrossing voids Warranties
This was an interesting article I came a cross, I though should share with the group. I know some of you guys race on the weekends. I am pretty sure most of use here don't have much of a warranty left put you can warn other people.

For the most part this is nothing new. I know my dad's 69 TR6 lost its warranty when he did some light SCCA racing. Most warranties have a disclaimer about any "abuse" to the auto can cause the warranty to be void. It would really be dumb of a company to not have such a disclaimer. It would cost them $$$$ as most people would simply go out and see how far past redline they can get their car before it blows up.:D
I do think it is quite curious though that Subaru gives WRX buyers a 1 year SCCA membership though. |
I just didn't know that the manufatures had the ablity to link owners and cars to the autoraces when warrinties work was in quesiton. benebob how did they find out out your dad?

As for my dad getting caught. He's honest and I'm sure told the dealer.;) |
That's why I always buy used cars. I'm free to do what I want to the car. Let someone else take the depreciation hit for the first 3 years. :D

Yeah, I saw that in my last Autoweek. That's one reason why I'll get a used STI and not an Evo...
