i will need several friends and some real luck to succeed at pushing it into another space. no worries, this is part and parcel of using street parking in SF. we're on a slope, open spaces are not nearby, etc.

that said, when i cranked it for the compression test, all i heard was the whine of the starter. there was no fuel introduced so certainly no combustion.

thanks everyone! if and when i try to start the engine i will record the sound.
