Default One hot coupe

I am the person that owns the '15 coupe that caught fire. I would like to thank BRYNER CHEV. & G.M. for doing the right thing. ALL is right and LIFE IS GOOD!

The replacement was built on 6/17/2015. Should be one of the last ones built. Crystle Red, I heard that the assembly plant was out of C.R. had CADDY send a batch to complete my coupe, if true a great story. Lost some left arm hair disconecting the battery!

Yeh, but you're so "anonymous"---not everyone knows that Bryner's in Jenkintown PA. Glad it turned out well and the only way it should have.

Did GM ever figure out what caused the fire?

The CORVETTE tech, SPENCE, is not allowed to check the coupe out as per G.M. As aretired G.M. tech I believe G. M. will hire a outside firm to check it out and then go after the supplier to recoup costs. Just my opinion!
