  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Of course, they did not admit any guilt but will pay $10 million to be done with this. nonsense.

CarShield's alleged deception included claims that consumers would never pay for repairs to "covered" parts such as engines and transmissions, would receive rental cars when their cars broke down, and could use repair shops of their choice.

I'm always surprised that there enough people buying into these trash "warranties". Just a quick Google of the BBB and you can see all these scams have "F" ratings and tons of complaints.

What's even more sleazy is seeing "celebs" pushing these. Odds are most of the people buying this crap do it because "Hey Ice-T says it's awesome so I'm buying it!!"
