meagain When I was in college my whole family took a vacation in Texas for a week, leaving me with my father's Saab. The day after they left the battery was dead.
Well, I had classes and I had work, and I had no money for a battery, so I push started that car for an entire week, everywhere I went. I got pretty good at it. I also figured out places on campus to park that were advantageous, like, for instance on a downhill slope, so I wouldn't have to push it as far and could allow gravity to help.
