It was an "after hours" private club, right next to the railroad tracks. Back then the only place you could have a mixed drink in Va was to bring your own bottle to a private club, mostly after midnight.

I could easily push start the bug under normal circumstances without any help. Of course the starting issue was intermittent and we all know "intermittent" means raining, in a pothole infested, barely gravel covered excuse for a place to park at 3 AM.
