I was driving back home from lunch with a friend I haven't seen for a while, car ran flawlessly up to the loss, dropped him back off at his car and we parted ways. Then on my way home, making a left hand turn, going about 40mph, 3rd gear cruising along all of a sudden the car sounded like the exhaust came loose, followed by a lot of engine noise, followed by a large white puff of smoke from behind. I had a extended warranty that was by Mercury and they denied the warranty due to abuse. Went to a race event 3 months prior and did 3 races on a straight away from 50-130, found footage of my car on youtube and they claimed that was the reason why I blew my motor. They said I either had to deny that and risk getting charged with fraud or admit that was me in the video. This will definitely be the last gm I ever buy. Now left with a useless car and having to pay out of pocket for a new motor.
