I was driving down the highway at normal posted speeds (65 mph) and my engine all the sudden cut out. It stumbled and died. I had it towed by L&a wrecking company to the shop. Turns out it was the valve springs the failed (apparently very common with Corvettes) and almost caused a huge wreck due to me having no power.
