Tow truck said they could not get in parking garage so we took a risk and started it. Both times it ran for about 5s and stalled. Gulp. Stay tuned for sequel.

2-year old reconditioned air compressor died, seized, took out the tensioner and aux belt. Love it. Could have been worse but not impressed. Now I have to break the news to my daughter that she won't have ac until I go down and fix the evaporator leak and replace the compressor.
