Yes, I mean it literally. My 2.8 liter Duramax diesel, which served me flawlessly for 2 years, had the engine fail internally in Layton, Utah.

My wife was driving the Chevy and I was following her in the Morgan. We were stopped at a freeway exit in Layton, about 30 miles North of Salt Lake. I heard the diesel rev out of control and white smoke spewed out the tailpipe. My wife turned the ignition off and bailed out. The engine quickly stopped and would not re-start. We had it towed to the Chevy dealer in Layton. They called us today, saying the engine was severely damaged and would be replaced under warranty in 10 days.

So, though I am pleased to have the new GT Beast, I am sorrowed by the Chevy dying. Such is life, my friends.
