yeah man i'll agree with you man. the same thing happened to my camaro so what i did is had someone jumpstart the car while i hit the casing on the starter and after a few wacks it turned over and everything was fine. but i also recommend taking the battery to pep boys to let them check the voltage on the battery. you may just have to replace the battery. i did that too and my battery was dead so i replaced it and got ENERGIZER...its the best!

Yea I had that happen to me. Only I got a click from the starter arm kicking out but the positive terminal was corroded to the point where it wasnt getting enough power to turn the damn thing. But at a glance everything looked connected and fine.
