As a guy with a average+ penis, I'd buy a 67-68 Mustang gt 500 Fastback in a heartbeat.

Wouldn't this "douce" that you are referring to not be a douche but a good person?

I've recently given a jump in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and I provided the cables. It's just a decent thing to do.
HatsAreEssential
It's decent, but "dangerous". People like to try to beg for money when they can't get their car to work...
I don't mind a beggar so much, it's the "takers" I worry about. But, I grew up with a lot of unreliable cars, so I sympathize.
For the record, I don't look backstreet boy, or have a fancy Mustang. I have a jank Impala, and I'm kinda scruffy.
statuscatmaticus
Scruffy, you say?
I was recently complimented on my "just for men" beard, but alas, I can't grow an amazing mustache like the janitor.

i recently went to texas, and on the plane trip over, i sat next to an old couple, i thought she was going to judge me for my tatts and
BeeExpert
So you meta-judged her. Yeah, thats right, I just made up a word. Deal with it.
stretched ears, she looks at me draw, and tells me that im a phenominal artist, we talked a storm and she loved tattoos and graffiti
moral of the story, dont count on someone to judge you, fuck you;re upvotes, this story reminded me of that particular situation

If she was a native Texan she probably had a few of her own.

red clamp on the red posts, black on the black posts or car frame. make sure the car with the good battery is running.

You don't know how to use them because you bought them to beat the shit out of your son huh?

Helped a woman at walmart once. Was weird..she had to hold the hood up and I had to crawl around in her nastyass car to start it. :(

Same here, I have cables in my car's trunk...about 85% sure on how to jump someone else's car..but pretty sure i'll rvrs polarities or smth
ILogInToUpvote
I bought cables specifically to help people. Sadly ended up needing them myself more often than needing them to help others, but still!

Red (+) on dead car to red on car 2, then black (-) on dead car to black on car 2. If you cross wires, you'll blow your battery fuse.

neighbor knocked at 5:30 AM for a jump. threw on my coat, grabbed cables and helped in 15ºF
JJJJ4
I had a neighbor knock on my door one night and needed me to take him to the hospital after slicing his arm open. I didn't even hesitate.
frypiggy
15ºF? Here we get average daytime highs of -25ºF in winter; which lasts for months... but that's nothing compared to Verkhoyansk, Russia!
true but this was october... it averages 0 or below sometimes, now :\
CompletelyStewart
Red is positive, black is negative, and a car battery usually either has the positive post labeled or there will be a red cable going to it.
Do that to both cars, start the working car, let it run about a minute or two, then start your car and run it for at least five minutes.
Good way to check if it's the battery or alternator that needs replacing, once you have the car running, remove the jumper cables and then
remove the positive battery cable. If the car keeps running, you just need a new battery. If it dies, you need an alternator.
Dammit. I forgot an important step. *ATTACH JUMPER CABLES* to corresponding battery posts on both cars, then proceed to starting dead car.

I was being facetious, but oddly enough I've seen a few manuals that tell you to do this... If you're not grounded you should be fine.
drfsupercenter
Positive to positive, negative to negative is all you really need to know :)
Studoku
Don't cross the streams.
nzey
This is incorrect. Unless you are trying to blow up your battery. Then go for it. Positive to positive, negative to metal on your frame.
bentwrenches
As a Mechanic, I have taken a good battery,turned it upside down, and touched terminals +to+,-to-.It works but, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
LadyNetrex
NO, this has worked for me for many years, no problems. Both on old and new cars, old on old, new on new, old on new and new on old. Easy
Wait, what? Connecting the positive of one battery to the negative of another will make the battery explode, not vice versa
CaseyCase
YES! Everyone's like "dude thats not right" then im all "ok retard, go blow up your battery if you want but I won't help you blow it up."
That is, negative of good battery to frame of car with bad battery.
spayrroe
Positive to positive, negative to ground (which is any metal). Best lesson I ever learned from Phineas and Ferb :)
weirdcalculator
In principle, this is correct, but it's usually impractical. I've never had a problem from jumping battery to battery.
I've also never seen a car with an unpainted section of frame. Some have a terminal just for jumping, but best bet is usually engine block.
