Karen, here's a tip... whenever I have a bad start before the 60f mark, I just shut down and cruise to the finish. I wouldnt even waste my gas on a full run if something goes wrong. If the first 60ft are perfect, then Ill keep on truckin, anything else Ill tap the breaks and slide on by. This not only saves you gas and keeps your engine temp down for a good run, but it could save you from an embarrassing moment like this when people might like to poke fun.
