Note that Gerdes' Accord was an automatic as well, so bump starting wasn't an option. But yes, you are right to point out there are few others as extreme when it comes to engine off.

Shultz: that's impresive. I owned 6 Rabbits - about one a year at the end of high school and through university - and replaced at least 3 VW starters, which suggests they weren't the most robust to start with. (Can't blame myself for the starter wear, since they were all well used when I got them!)
