well i could not hold out any longer. i got a dry spot in the weather, and decided to unravel the car and take it to stanwood, about 10 miles away. after sitting in incessant rain, iced, snow and all kinds of other weather, it started right away, but there was copious amounts of water inside on all the glass. so now i have a dryer powder of some kind sitting on the floor mat on the passenger side. the cover looks awful with green goo all over it. so i guess i am going to have to get another cover, trying to decide on a temporary garage. the car is dirty as well, in fact it is filthy covered with dirt. oh well, the cost of ownership.
