Talking Chevy Nightmare.....

Maybe worse than the first Camaro wreck is the first Chevy Camaro breakdown. This "chick magnet" Bumblebee-yellow Camaro lost all electrical power and coasted to a stop with a scant 40 miles on the odometer.

The ecstatic new owner a girl, was crushed when the car conked-out cruising through a parking lot at a leisurely 5 MPH, completely losing all electrical power, locking the gear selector and the key in the ignition. A flatbed towed the disabled car to a dealer where diagnosis found the cable running from the trunk mounted battery had frayed on the starter motor and grounded out, causing complete loss of power. A new cable running a different route will be installed at the dealer. Hopefully this isn't something we'll be seeing more of on other cars.


( I guess it's really not funny....but then it is a Chevy....so go ahead and laugh.....)

Kinda sad. But tyhe funniness is a positive that overrides the negative.

Man I really hate that for her. Can you imagine how your plans would change from driving everywhere to a roll back trip. I hate it for her and hope they get her on the road soon.
