Helped a younger guy that I would guess was in his late 20's jump his car on the way home. The guy had NO clue how to jump a car. Like I said in the title......... I shouldn't be surprised but I don't understand how you don't acquire some simple abilities just by living.

I showed him how to do it and told him where some batteries can be hiding in other cars. I feel like I did my good deed for the day.Originally posted by meangreen04 View PostComment

"hiding batteries" reminds me of my '69 VW with the battery under the seat--Comment

Good deed done for today. Maybe you were the first person to ever talk to him about cars. Hope he was appreciative of the effort.Comment

Like others have said, maybe his first time ever seeing it.Comment

My favorite was some late 90's Dodge car my buddy had you needed to remove the passage tire that allowed you to get to an access panel that housed the battery inside the fender.Originally posted by dustoffer View PostComment

I guess I am more surprised this is the first time he had been involved in this situation. Maybe he had been and didn't pay attention. I would have thought a guy his age would have been able to put two and two together tho.Comment
