It was too cold to screw around too much this morning so I just called AAA (I pay for it, I might as well use it).

The dude came out, puttered around a bit and then got on the ground and thumped the hell out of the gas tank while I cranked it and gave it gas. It started up in a about 2 minutes.

I am a very happy man.

The dude suggested some fuel line antifreeze so my first stop was at Pep Boys.

Thanks for all the help fellas.

Save yourself some bucks and buy a big bottle of rubbing alcohol. You get 4 times as much for 1/4 the price.

I will call you anyway, but my dilema is solved (as far as the car is concerned).
