the first thing to try is the easiest. Position the car where it will not
hit anything should it lurch forward. Then put the car in fourth gear. Press
firmly on the brakes and depress the clutch and engage the starter.
This is so easy there is no reason not to try this even if you have no hope
of it working. But if your car has been setting for only a few months it is
likely to work.
