in my old Bonneville, it started to growl, bad, could hear it at idle non stop.

I discovered when mine died when I was driving on a fairly long trip up to Napa wine counrty, and my car started to overheat. When I pulled over and popped the hood, coolant was dripping out of my water pump. That'* always fun when you're far away from home. Luckily, my car was still under warranty, so I pulled into a Chevy dealer, handed them my warranty card and said "fix it!" We spent the day walking among the shops, wineries, and restaurants in Napa, and picked up my car at the end of the day.

It was a pretty good excuse to go wine tasting, knowing I wouldn't be able to drive for a while!
