If there is any one left around me that might have one, I have no idea who it would be. So far, I haven't even been able to keep this car running even while bottle feeding it. The result is so far always been the same. Start briefly stumble and die. It wont even try to run on brake clean or starting fluid, not the last time I tried it anyway.
