<VV> Lisa won't start.

     You CAN "push start" PG Corvairs.  At least I used to "roll" or "push" start my 1966 Monza and it usually worked IF you could get up to 25-30 mph.  I would park on the hilly section of our workplace parking lot and if I left after most of my co-workers, I would put "Joe Cool" (he had A/C) in neutral and roll downhill with the ignition on and put the car into gear when 25 mph (or more was reached)   Most of the time it would start.  Another time on the local roads the car stalled and wouldn't restart so my wife pushed me in her car and got "Joe Cool" (named by our son after a "Snoopy" character) to start once he was going fast enough.
     It's worth trying.

If it's not a PG, how about a push start in order to get her home where you
can troubleshoot in comfort?

Hi, Lisa wouldn't start in the parking lot at work today. Battery appears
good, lights turn on bright. Lights were not left on. Starter does nothing.
I had to abandon her overnight, I will return tomorrow. Almost certainly a
bad connection but where? What can I do to get her started? What could it
be? What tools and such should I bring to get her started again? -- IV

Bring a VOLTMETER!! Most likely a bad connection..
