So what do you use "Starter Fluid" on if not a gasoline engine? A diesel? An
electric motor? A wind-up toy? Maybe your girlfriend's BOB

Starter fluid is primarily for getting diesels running in extreme cold
temperatures when it's not possible to plug in the block heater for a
couple hours prior to starting.

Inasmuch as "Starter Fluid" is sold at the auto-parts store, I can't imagine
there are that many cars that are powered by a clockwork mechanism where the
pendulum is difficult to get going...

Hmm, an auto parts store sells it, therefore it must be okay to use on
your car... Extra points for use of 3rd grade logic.

If a car is so difficult to get going that you NEED starter fluid,
it's very very close to death.
