We're looking at a bad winter here. Usually means at least a week of subzero

Also, snow and ice aplenty, if the farmers almanac can be trusted.

In gears 1-4, he accelerates pretty much, on his own.
He doesn't rev up at idle, nor does he accelerate in reverse (thankfully)
All that is old news, though so it matters not much anymore.
This morning, he caught on fire.

perhaps 5 to 10 miles a day.
Also, his erratic, take off in first, second and sometimes third, and
wanting to not idle like he is starved for fuel after running a little while
