I was wondering if anyone else thinks their car has a mind of its own.
Today I had the Camaro out for a long trip all over CT, on all types of roads, making a few stops along the way. I stopped on my way home to get Subway for some late lunch. I come out of the store and the car wont start! Now here is where I must do a flashback.
Last Summer: I won Best in Show at a big CT car show, and had to drive the car from my spot to the winners circle...Car wont start! After everyone moves over to me and takes pictures ect ect. She fires right up! No reason...just decided to wait 10 minutes.
Back to Today I messed with the battery line, the starter, let it cool down for 45 minutes. Nothing...nothing...nothing. I finally give up and call Haggarty for a tow. Tow guy comes and gives it a try. Nothing! So we put it on the tow truck and head home.
The car literally comes off the flatbed, the driver pulls away, I get in just for the heck of it and try. FIRES RIGHT UP!
Little things like this have happened many times in the past, and to me there is no real electrical or mechanical problem...I really think the car just does what it wants sometimes, and likes to play games.
I also thinks it is the car playing fun games because I made 2 other stops over an hour away from my house...and it started fine. The problem occured less than 2 minutes from home! She knew what she was doing! ;)
