It was a beautiful day yesterday on our 37th wedding anniversary until 2 pm. We went out to the Malibu to drive out to the boat, and...it wouldn't start. No matter what we tried, same result. No go.
We've had this problem before, the last time in September when we were in Missouri on our Route 66 trip and another time here in town. Both times, the problem was with the anti-theft system and we had the keys re-keyed and we were off on our way.
We called Ray Chevrolet in Fox Lake, Illinois, and they arranged a tow. We found out the problem was with the anti-theft system which had to be replaced and we were guaranteed that the problem wouldn't happen again.
While waiting, we took the opportunity to look at the new cars in the lot. The Malibu is a '93 with 94,000 miles on it and we have recently spent $900 on repairs on it, so it is about time. We both like the Chevy Malibu, plus I like the new Camaro and Ford Mustangs (middle age thing you know).
It cost a cool $540 plus another $80 for the tow. If that just doesn't make a person's day. But, at least we got a "FREE" car wash out of it.
No Boating For Us, But At Least We Got That Free Car Wash, Or Was It a $540 Car Wash? Hard to Say. --RoadDog
