The Official "How Not To" Thread

If the ignition key won't start the car and you have to jump it at the solenoid to get it going, make sure it's in park first and not in neutral! Because if the reason the key won't turn over the starter is because the neutral safety switch fell off, and the shifter is sloppy so the car isn't completely in neutral but it's a little bit in drive, and you start the car, it starts wandering forwards where it will fall off the lift and crash into the front of your shop. Ask me how I know this!

Thank goodness I had it chocked on the lift so it didn't go anywhere and the lift was down on the ground, but this could have been a disaster.
