Yes, once. And, the incident was due to the faulty o.e. battery.

Yep, yesterday was the first time. I stopped in a store for about 2 minutes and came out to a dead car. The store owner let me borrow her car to give mine a jump.

Once when the AC Delco gave up the ghost. It onlt took a 20 min trip to Costco. One Optima Red Top later and I was back on the road.
Other problems have been the common snags and needed trips to the Dealer.

Not me..... but my wife
Many moons ago, our almost new 1978 Corvette quit when my wife was driving........ fuel filter........ she had to catch a ride into town....... needless to say that did not endear her to Corvettes.........
