What kind of harebrained scheme are you cooking up here?!

For some reason I have ignored that ad. On top of my various and sundry other projects, let me:
  1. Get my Civic running yet again.
  2. Maybe get a smaller car running again.
  3. Then maybe resurrect someone else's problem.
However, I volunteer for tribute the Escalade that belongs to someone that I know. I probably mentioned it a while ago. The lady drove her dad to the store and he stayed in the vehicle listening to the radio. When she returned it wouldn't start, they had it towed to their usual shop, and were told "All four cylinders are bad."

What the heck?! It sounds like they would have been better off having it towed to AutoZone. Then one teenager earning the minimum wage could check their battery, alternator, and starter for free.

By the way, if GM ever made a six-cylinder Escalade it was years later. There definitely were not any four-cylinder glorified Suburbans. In theory they could have a 6-liter four-cylinder, but why?
