The most anti-climactic thing I've ever experienced is starting Ol' Betsie after her 8 month hibernation in the garage during our winter season.

I figured I would have to at least prime the fuel and crank for a bit, after which she would hesitantly start and billow smoke. I had my coveralls on and everything, getting ready for some dirty hands.

Yeah, none of that... Turned the ignition after pre-glow, and less than a second later she was idling as if she had last ran that morning.

I know, 8 months ain't a very long time, but still...
