A little off topic, but when I was in my 'build' stage, I had the car up on jack stands. The neighbor wanted to show his buddy the car, so I fired it up with a remote starter button (wiring harness was not in yet)... all three of us were grinning from ear to ear.

They started pointing and yelling... me, being the idiot, just kept revving it up. Finally figured out that they were pointing at the tires spinning at about 40mph. Got lucky that day, she didn't fall off the stands. I can't remember if the car was in a forward gear or reverse - but either the garage/house would have bit it - or - major traffic pileup.

Winter startups are easy now, the car has been at the performance shop each winter for the last two years fixing all my mistakes (I'm contributing big-time to the economy - just doing my responsibilty as a U.S. citizen!).

The car is in garage heaven, clean floors, warm, surrounded by some pretty cool car 'buddies'.
