RIP 2010 370z

Yeah I fully take responsibility for not checking things myself. This is the first time I've owned a car and not done the maintenance myself. I got so used to the dealership doing it that I just didn't pay attention anymore. My stupidity.

Getting an engine delivered to my buddy's shop next week and going to start doing some prep work on the car over the next couple of weekends. Hopefully I can finish the swap in a single weekend, but we'll see. Just going to go back to doing all the work myself.

Impossible to prove if dealer screwed up the last service so I'm not even going to bother trying to blame them for anything. I agree this all sounds fishy that only 1k miles over suggested maintenance that the engine would die like this. Hell my dad's suburban is about 4k miles over it's recommended maintenance and that thing is somehow still puttin along.

Learning a very expensive lesson here and thought I'd share my mistake with others here so that they may learn from my fug up.
