I agree.  They're a scam in general.  On top of that, the Miata is so 
reliable, the warranty companies will probably pocket almost every dime 
they take in on these things.  I'd be interested to see some statistics on 
frequency of repairs for the Miata which are needed after the factory 
warranty expires.  I seem to remember Consumer Reports giving the Miata
 excellent marks in this regard.  Save the money and buy some new tires
or something.  It's funny, when I go to driver's schools, everybody else is 
working on (i.e. fixing) their cars.  Even the late model ones.  I kind of 
feel
 guilty, but all I can do is clean my windshield and check everything.  Now
 I just bring a novel and some sunscreen (still bring my tools, in case 
somebody needs to borrow them).
