Finally Flooded the 8!

So with all the snow finally gone I tried to drive the 8 today to work, but no go. I made sure the car was warm when I moved it from the street to my driveway when it was snowing hard last week. I've owned my car for about 3 1/2 years and have about 42,000 miles. I also replaced the plugs about 10k ago. Any advice? I really don't want to take it to the stealership, espicially because the closest one next to me is the Renton one. Please feel free to share your experinces and your expenses to fix this problem.

There are deflooding procedures, I believe there is also a DIY in the forums somewhere.
Have you gotten the new starter/battery TSB done?

yup, got it done a few years ago. I've tried the deflood procedures in the brochure they give you when you buy the car. Im gonna try again tomorrow morning, and try the rolling start method I read on here.
