Don't ask me why, don't ask me how, all I know is that the car started. We didn't do anything to it other than put in more gas and it still took over 8 hours later, but it started. There's still something clearly wrong with the engine, but it started. So me and my mother are not going to die this week, assuming the car still runs.

(Disclaimer: death as a result of car failure is NOT an exaggeration.)
