When You Don't Have Jumper Cables
Went to the body shop here in La Paz, Mexico, to pick-up the '92 Jeep Cherokee we just had painted (they painted it the wrong color so we bargained for $100 discount). The battery was dead.
The four guys in the shop walk over carrying a car battery (I'm still sitting in the driver's seat). They say go ahead and start it. No contact (just clicking) but I can see sparks flying by looking through the crack under the now open hood. Evidently together they are somehow jumping the battery with a couple of huge combination wrenches instead of using the customary jumper cables. On the fourth or fifth try, it finally made contact enough to get started and drive home.
