to pick up my car:D

Long story short, I was at my uncle's house and we had planned to go jogging. We were going to a far trail so we took his car. A few miles from home it conveniently decided to die on us. We tried everything to get it to run and nothing materialized. Anyways, long story short. I jogged back home to pick up my car.

Yuu kind of run a little bit faster when someone is waiting for you ;)

In the end, it proved to be a real bitch because he is broke, didn't want me to pay for a tow truck, and he needed to get it home.

So we did what anyone with a POS vehicle who could care less about physical damage to his vehicle would do:

We pushed it in neutral onto the main road (georgia Ave in Maryland) and I proceeded to push it with an Izuzu Rodeo.


You would be surprised how quickly a POS 4 cylinder starts when you are pushing it with a 2 ton SUV and ddrop the clutch:D

If I recall correctly, that is a pretty busy road. Glad you got the car started, though. :)

No sh!t it is a "pretty busy road" ..I kept that point subtle because it would take forever to describe the motions of the two dozen or so drivers that amost hit us..not to mention those who slowed down to watch:D
