Hi Ho Mike,
First off, did you try to jump start the car prior to condemning
starter? when push starting a car you should pop the clutch in 1st
gear after get a decent roll / engine RPMs will be to low in 4th to get
the car started. If your "idiot light" for alternator does not come on
when you turn key on position before starting, it means it is not
working.
with any luck, your dead short will have only fryed your battery and
and w\ a little more luck, it will only have totally drained it.
All in all, not so bad, reads like you had fun and the most important
thing.
Safety Fast,
