Dan- You dropped a bolt down the intake...? Oh boy- now I REALLY need to get my car fixed before Saturday, so I can make the lunch run... Guess what the topic of conversation is going to be?
But hey...
My 97 Corvette stalled out on me one afternoon in late 2003, on my way home from a round of golf... I figured the fuel pump had died, or maybe the the map or maf sensors had gone on the fritz... But instead, this was what I found inside:
When I worked as a Tech for GM, the Engineers would document this on our test vehicles as "Unanticipated catastrophic failure of one or more primary engine components"
I simply called it an "impending catastrophic credit card balance"...
