So it's safe to say after 2 years of usage its good to start having some extra parts in case of some faultiness with the mirage drive. And for those who does not maintenance their drive I would say you guys should be keeping some spare parts within the first year. Also if your not mechanically incline to disassemble and reassemble the drive buy an extra set and leave that in your car. This would be my opinion on a product that will see failure due to wear and tear but with proper maintenance I could see the product lasting 4 years without major components replacement.

No, my mirage drive was brand new when i got it. It did not fail for the first time last week. Its failed rarely but it has failed every once and awhile throughout the time i have owned it.
You shouldnt assume anything will be fine after 2 years. Consider it like having a spare tire for your car or a patch kit. Sure you just bought new tires today but its possible that you could get a flat tomorrow...for what ever reason. Now would you leave the spare at home because you got a new set?
My situation i should have known better and had spare parts....
So basically, i got a flat and i didnt buy a spare, so i had to push my car home, up hill on sand....
