Thanks for the note. I was able to use my time as a supervisor to weasel my way into the Assembly Liaison job - first as a Flint Assembly employee and then as an Engineering employee - doing the same work. So far, everything has gone according to plan career wise (other than that little "bankruptcy" thing last year...)

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. The only other thought I can offer up is that eventually the ignition wiring gets bad, from heat and age. My Chevelle got to where it wouldn't start even with two new batteries in the trunk. That's when I wired up a pushbutton start, jumping directly across the posts of the starter. As soon as I did that - no more problems. You just turn the key to "on" (not crank), push the button and away you go -
