I tried to start it this morning, and it wouldn't, so I comandeered my neighbor to give me a push tomorrow morning. The only problem here is that it's in a parking lot that has only one outlet ~~ onto a busy four-lane street.

However, if the timing is right, I can get it started, and once it is going, I won't shut it off until I pull into my nephew's driveway. I have two keys to it, so I'm not above locking my keys in the car! ;o]

Sometimes, with a balky starter, just nudging it a bit can get it to a point where it will catch. you can even rock back and forth inside the vehicle to do it.

I used to have a Toyota car that just hated to start. I usually parked it on a hill.

I called it my "West Virginia" starter, partly because, at the time, I was staying in West Virginia.
