You have one of the rare companies that will do that.  USAA "said" to keep the
receipts, and they'd take them into consideration.....Yeah, sure!!

On another note....

I have an '87 T-Coupe, retired since 1996, with 200K miles on it.  No unscheduled
engine maintenance other than one fuel injector at 33K and the Hall sensor and TFI
module at 125K.  Excellent car (except for the lousy rear axle...4 rebuilds, and I
had to pay for two of them....one of those 8.8 types, except this one is 7.5)....one
time it got 33 mpg at 90 mph driving all night, lots of fun to drive.  It's headed
for the museum, along with the Lowrider.
