Then like an idiot, instead of getting a new battery, or driving home, I stopped at Chili's to have dinner, completely forgot about the battery and once again found myself rolling my car through the parking lot. Kinda embarrassing, but started right up again.

I had to roll start my S a few weeks ago. For some reason my car would not start, I would press the starter button and just get a humming sound, but the car wouldn't even try to kick over. I figured that the battery had went dead, but that wasn't the case. I jumped the car and it still wouldn't start, just the same humming sound. I then rolled my car down the driveway and popped the cluth and Voila, it started. I still don't know why the car wouldn't start 
because it wasn't the battery, but it hasn't given me any problems since then. So, rolling starts are still useful when your in a jam.

XViper: It's amazing your car even starts. How do you keep those poor hampsters warm in your part of the world man? Where is the opening to refill the feeder with pellets... secret compartment?
And I make the food pellets out of high energy bars.
I have removed my cruise control like some guys do when they mount their catch cans. My pellet dispensing reservoir is bolted there.
Also, Emil is corrrect. I have little electric thermal butt plugs for the "boys".

Now I know why people sometimes complain of a certain "musty" odor in their cars...

Second Gear sounds a little rough. I would suggest trying 4th or 3rd.
Second, it would seem, would give the drivetrain a rather severe stress test.
Plus, after it kicks on, push in on the clutch and make a normal rolling start with the appropriate gear.
