Analysis

The acft collided with a car during an aborted takeoff. The plt said that the acft would not attain flying speed so halfway down the rwy she aborted the takeoff. She also said that she and her passengers removed frost off the acft for about 25 minutes before the attempted takeoff. The airspeed indicator never moved off of zero and she did not attempt toget the acft off the ground.
