how often does your mic break?

This might seem like a silly question, but I'm going to be buying my first large condenser mic (probably a AT4033a or an AT4047SV if I can afford it) and I'm thinking of buying one without a "proper" guarantee. I live in France but plan to make the purchase in England since it is a lot cheaper over there. So I'll have a guarantee on the mic, only I'll have to send it back to get it fixed which I would like to avoid (it's complicated and takes time)...But studio mics are quite solid aren't they? Presuming normal use, they should last at least for a good 10 years without trouble, shouldn't they?
 
yep..... they will last a lifetime if they are handled properly and used normally......

Sticking them out the window in a rainstorm to capture the sound...... is just asking for it.... as long as U stick to your common sense U will have no probs

mmmmmmm AT4033.........

They're a poor substitute for a hammer, that's for sure. By the way, you're gonna love the AT 4033.

Ok, thanks for your replies...
So basicely there's nothing to worry about as long as I keep it out of range of wild animals or drummers playing with hammers :-)
I thought I was gonna hear some real "mic horror stories"...
