So I get in my 84' Fiero to go to work yesterday, turn the key... nothing,
headlights work but no dash lights. Oh well... go to the 01' Chevy 2500HD,
it starts, but I noticed it was a little slow to turn over. Didn't think
much of it, after all, I had not used it in the last two months. Now the
check engine light is on, but I got to get to work. So I go to pull out and
it's like the e-brake is on but it's not. I get moving, seems OK, drive the
15 miles to work. Go to backup into a parking space at work... won't move
in reverse! Makes a bad rough sounding noise when I shift between R & D.
Arggg... call the dealer... come and get this POS (still under warranty).

So the only vehicle available to me that still works, is the oldest, highest
mileage, 80' CJ-7! Thank goodness for the simple things in life!

A., it is a Fiero after all. You're lucky the lights even turned on. B., not
driving the truck for two months probably seized the calipers and pads to
the rotors. It's you're own fault.
