DailyDi Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Heading out to an appointment with my headshrinker and my car wouldn't start. Jumped it and it ran for a minute then died. Repeat. Repeat. 1 year old with less than 3k miles. Surprisingly NOT freaking out, as it's under warranty and they are even sending a rig to get it and take it to the shop. Rescheduled shrinks appointment.

Although if your planning on getting a new car to replace it I think you should get a Dodge Challenger Hellcat It was on the Grand Tour episode a week ago and it put me in mind of you funnily enough. That's awful purdy! 1 Link to comment
beallucanb Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Mike it might be key itself or the battery is dead because the alternator quit working. Link to comment

repetitivediaperwetter88 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Sounds like an alternator to me. Went through 5 of those in one week. Lol! Link to comment
Alaraine Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 i have to replace the alternator in my 96 jeep Cherokee, frigging rusted manual tensioner is giving me a heck of a time though. btw, none of those cars are much of anything. i mean really 700hp don't understand the point once you get past 200 hp everything else is just excess. unless your driving a full size truck and haul stuff... thats the exception haha.

My brother owns a Hellcat. He never drives it, because he can't handle the horsepower. LOL! I drive a V6 BumbleBee Camaro that is chipped and modded for 445 HP and still gets 26 MPG. 1 Link to comment
