Funny Navy, I caught that too. However, I have a bad habit of referring to my sweetie as wife sometimes, fiance others and the occassional girlfriend. We've been together for seven years in June, living together since last August. At this point it's more the paperwork than anything else. We are planning on getting hitched this fall though. I love her regardless of how I refer to her.

i have had the same problem!! my car has now been in the shop twice and at inconvenient times to boot!!
the first time i was in old town scottsdale in a parking structure.. my car wouldnt start, it wouldnt lock, it would set the alarm and finaly after 30 minutes it started..
the second time i was at phoenix international airport!! after trying to start it for 1 1/2 hours i fanaly called AAA for a tow. the car wouldnt start even after i disabled my remote start. its sputtered and backfired but thats it.. then the starter would stick and keep firing until i took teh key out or hit the remote start button to stop it.. they towed my car back up to prescott arizona where i live and after 2 days in the shop they called to say it was starting..
it threw a code
code P1682 seit in memory due to an ECM calibration concern as per bulletin PIP3646B
reprogram ACM as per bulletin...
well it was fine for 3 weeks.. then on a trip to california 2 weeks ago as i pulled into northridge i stopped to get a gatorade at a liquer store.. guess what?? it does it again!!
this time i call my dealer lamb chevrolet in prescott and they say call chevy roadside assist. they send a truck out pick it up tow it to the dealer, unload it and boom it starts. POS im thinkin.. the tow truck driver is even stumped.. we both proceed to tell the service guys at rydell chevy that it wouldnt start before this.. so they take the car for 4 days and it throws no codes, nothing.. so now im waiting it out to see if it happens again..
i'll kep you updated as i find out more.. but if it happens one more time, mine will qualify for the lemon law and if it does im returning it and getting something else!
