Needless to say, she went right into the garage and is not coming out until this shyte goes away!!!

Mkay I'm havin problems...
I didn't drive my eight until the snow stopped and my court melted, then I go to start it up last night and it just turned over and wouldn't start up, I have the same problem this morning and couldn't even go to work
The car is on 05 with 27thou miles on it so I really don't know why it'd have problems already, unless something about 8s doesn't like snow too much. Can someone pleaseee help me out with this, I have so much xmas shopping to do and can't go anywhere now

^ For starters, it is def flooded by now. You are going to have to go through the deflood process. Now, the not starting issue may be your battery. If it is getting older, it might not have enough CCA's to get the 8 started. I had the same problem last year one really cold morning. I couldn't get it started and the battery ended up finally dieing on me. I went out, bought a new battery, and then did the deflood. Took a little while, but I got her started.

^ Rotaries flood easily. Doesn't take much. So if your battery was too weak to get it fired up, then all that fuel is just sitting in the engine from every time it turns the engine. The more it turns over, the more fuel that is getting dumped into the engine. I would suggest getting your battery checked out by Autozone or someone else with a battery tester. May be time for a new one. Especially in the cold weather, the rotary takes a lot of CCA to get started.

For starters dont listen to Rory,,,
You can still bypass the flooding, if thats even the case,,, it just takes a delicate touch, and if Rory was paying attention he would have seen that you have a 05 which would eliminate about 2/3s of the flooding issues right off the bat...
Probably nothing more than a weak battery, or like most people a weak starter, Ive been through 4 so far,,, they dont like the cold too much, check all the connections to the starter. One of them may have been shorted from the snow...

They can still flood damn it!!! Just not as easily, especially if you use that "delicate touch" that Greg uses every night to touch himself!
