Not 100% sure but I believe the fuel pump gave out as there was no fuel in the filter.....and I had just filled it up at the pump and it wouldn't restart. Luckily as it would turn out a friend of mine was the tow truck operator. Not so luckily was the hordes of people with cell phones taking pics...

Maybe it is just a loose wire to the pump... :dunno:

Put it in the air. Assessed my rear shock / bump stop situation. Ordered MORE bumpstops.

Drove it back home from Carrolton, TX. Got a shit tons of bug guts on it in the process.
But I also got a chance to refuel and calculate my highway mileage. In the last 379 miles I averaged 15.2 mpg. This was also the first time I have checked my highway fuel mileage since I added the electric cooling fans, so I am not sure how much that contributed to that mpg average. :dunno:

Why buy new when you can restore?

Got the fuel pump changed on my GF's Cavalier. Was easier than I thought it would be. Took 3hrs, but spent 45min trying to find a plug to plug the filler neck inlet on the tank so that when we dropped it it wouldn't spill all over. Had about 6-7gal in it at the time. Now the car runs again!! :thumbs:

This also means that I get the Z71 back too!!!!!! :D

Dropped it off at the mechanic so he can get to it first thing tomorrow morning. He is going to be tackling the dreaded spark plug change tomorrow :ohnoes:
