Hey, I didn't point any fingers at anybody regarding the grumpy old man comment...
There have been 4 or 5 times over the life I've owned -05416 that it's sat for very extended periods of time. Each time, with new fuel and a charged battery, it's started up within a minute or two of cranking. I find that pretty amazing especially since one of the times the car sat for almost 9 years without running. These cars like to run and they'll do whatever they can to encourage you to spend time on them.
