Wait a minute here. You want "to protect the big investment", but you
drive the car at 130 mph?! If that's the case, not only do you not
deserve warranty coverage, but you don't deserve the privelege of
driving a car! What the heck are you thinking??? Slow down before you
kill someone!

There's nothing you can do about it.

I won't argue the priveledge to drive part, but the warranty? C'mon!
Hyundai made a car that goes close to 140 MPH as a top speed without any
modifications by the owner. Are you telling us that using the car as it
was designed should void the warranty? That's like buying a computer that
can process at 3.5 Ghz but only being allowed to use it at 1.0 Ghz.

Yes, I have. Nothing justifies driving 130 mph on public roads.

How about when you get a call at 2:00 AM that your premature baby, who
is in the hospital, needs emergency life-or-death surgery and you need
to be there NOW? And the hosptial is 45 minutes away at normal speeds?
It happened to me and I made the 45 minute trip in about 20 minutes.
And that included the time it took to get pulled over at gun-point,
explain my situation, and get an escort for the last 5 miles of the
trip.
Yes, it really happened. And my daughter is 3 months old now and doing
well.

I'm glad to hear that you had a good outcome, but you could just as
easily ended up in a smoking pile of wreckage on the side of the road.
What would have happened to your daughter then? The smart move would
have been to contact the authorities first.
