Ok, 4ft. might have been a slight exaggeration, but not by much! Anyway,,,,, of course I have started the car. I realize about making sure it gets started now and then, just couldn't get it out of the driveway for awhile! Started just fine even with the way below 0 temps we have had. I probably wouldn't even sell it for 24K right now. I really love this car and can't wait to drive it again soon.
