Myself, I keep almost everything for my new cars. I toss everything in the glove box. The GF is anal about organizing things so eventually it finds it's way into a file. It's helped in the past. I had an Ion that spent most of the first 2 years I owned it in the shop. A folder full of records easily convinced GM to extend the bumper to bumper warranty.

If I ever get a vehicle with less than 100k on the clock to start with, maybe I'll think about keeping records.
I do try to jot down most stuff for the bike, though. Dates of tires, oil changes, valve checks with clearances noted, etc. I don't bother with receipts, though.

ditto. I think the newest vehicle I've ever bought (other than a motorcycle) was 6 years old. The warranty on my v-strom is over, so no point keeping receipts there, either.
