I know a guy who is convinced that he will run his car battery down if he leaves his cell phone on the cig charger too long.

I told him he was probably right and the next time his car had dead battery, as long as his cell phone had a full charge, he should be able to hook it up the the cig charger and start his car.

His eyes got big and he thanked me for giving him that great idea.

I refused to jump this truck once but I did pull start it with my Shovelhead. She was too hot to leave on the road stranded.
