I've been through that same experience a couple times.

The second time the car didn't start; owner left out the fuse for the gas pump, then when he figured that out and put the fuse in, discovered he never connected the fuel rail and shot a quart of gas onto the back of his engine. After those two hiccups the engine started right up.

Boy it feels good when an engine that was through open heart surgery fires up and runs smoothly.

Love the blonde moment line reminds me of a story from high school: a girl comes into the art classroom to ask the teacher of he has a coat hangar as she just locked her keys in the car.

Her boyfriend, following the teach and girlfriend out of the room says while shaking his head, and she's not even a real blonde.
