Default Starter fire.

Yep, went to start the Vette last night. The starter was draging a little and the damn Chevy wouldn't start. Being the engine was stone cold, I tried again. The starter started to spin the engine then draged down. Well, having 1000 cranking amps and arc welding cables I knew the battery was good and the cables good. So I try again. The starter started starts to spin then drags down. Start to smell something funny, open hood----starter on fire. DAMN CHEVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry dude, what a crazy couple months you've had

At least your cat is okay, everything else can be fixed.
