    o2's, knock sensors, motor mounts, dead pixels or lines on your gauge cluster, I'd throw the car up on a lift and see if you can spot any oil on your turbos, usually thats a sign they are on their way out, hmm, free oil change lol, uhh free tranny fluid change. I'd try to get whatever you can possible.

    Chain the rear diff to a large tree. Put the car in second and rev it to redline...then drop the clutch. Do a smokey awd burnout until something gives out, than have it towed to teh dealership. Most importantly, make a vid of it all and post it for us to laugh at lol!

    But seriously, id go with Panix advice and get as much done as possible. When you go into the dealership DO NOT tell them that its your last day on the warranty, and if they tell you about it then act ignorant, but still insist on the work being done. I had a friend(chris daughtry from american idol lol) that worked at the warranty desk for Honda for a short time...he told me that when people came in for last day warranty work theyre supposed to try to find reasons to turn it down. Appearantly, if they really want to turn it down they can find a way to do so. This may no be the case for all dealerships, but i wouldnt risk it lol.
