Daniel:

I feel your pain, having walked in those exact same shoes.
It's been a year or three ago, but I remember it quite vividly.
It was a typical Northern California hot sunny day (100+).
I had taken the roof off and took a spirited drive around nowhere in particular and afterward stopped by the local Blockbuster Video store to see if there was anything good in.
I go to fire it up and leave, and.......................
Nothing.
Luckily for me it was only about a mile or so home, but it was a long hot pissed off walk home to get the roof (I had left it in the garage) and arrange for a flatbed tow.
I hopped in my trusty old Toyota pickup and drove back down to the parking lot to put the roof on and just for giggles gave the key a try.
Yup, you guessed it, vvvvvrooooommmmmm!!!
Started right up.
Called and cancelled the tow, drove it home and had wifey take me back down to the parking lot to collect my pickup.
That began the saga of "The Dreaded No Start" and the end result was my patented DNS remedy
