Today was a great summer day, very hot so i decided to do a little road trip.
Since the charger currently has issues with brakes pulling to one side i decided to use my 72 cutlass supreme.
I decided to take a break and when i tried to start the car back up it didn't do anything except the sound
a locked up engine would make when trying to start it.
But luckily i know these cars pretty good by now and knew it must be the starter.
Furthermore i knew that tapping it a few times will probably make the car start and get me home!
I had almost zero tools on hand but luckily found a ratchet in the trunk and tapped a couple times.
After that the starter did it's job again and i was able to start the car back up!
This really saved my day and kept the tow truck away. Knowledge IS power.
Now i have to get a new starter.
