Anyone follow the hilarious Doug DeMuro on Jalopnik?

Pretty amusing stuff. He bought a 2006 Range Rover from carmax because he realized he could take advantage of them with an extended warranty covering the truck with "durability of tissue paper" for 5 years and up to 125,000 miles

In 2 years, he's already exceeded the original warranty cost by thousands. Rather than get angry when the car breaks, you're hoping it does so you get your money's worth.

My Air Suspension Failed (Again): Another CarMax Warranty Update

He's posted other columns listing 5 cars in their current inventory that you can destroy their profits by purchasing an extended warranty. Cars like a Mercedes S65, Audi R8, Jaguar XJ Supercharged.

Then comes his Ferrari 360 ownership experience, but his best article came when it was time to sell it. Being a used car dealer for 4 years I really found the humor and sympathized with that post.

The Hardest Part Of Owning A Ferrari Is Selling It

Along with his other articles, there's a weekly ask Doug column where he answers car questions, all are fun to read.
