 |
|
Well, yesterday I went to get a haircut with my mom. Afterwards, we got lunch and went to the grocery store. So, my brother and I waited in the car while eating our lunches. We got bored and turned on the radio. So, the radio started getting a little screwy after about 10 minutes. I decided to turn off the car to save a little gas and battery. Everything was fine until my mom came back, except for the fact that it was POURING RAIN. My mom loaded up the car and got in. Note that this is an Acura MDX from 2002, we bought it when it was new. So, she went to turn it on. She was in a bad mood already because of the horrible rain. When she turned the key all the way, the car started to make a clicking sound. She tried again, and all we heard was a clicking sound. So my mom started going crazy. She called Acura, and they said that our RoadSide Service hadn't been renewed. We had to call home and get my dad to pick us up, then call a garage to jump our car. It was horrible. We were standing soaking wet in the rain trying to get the car started.
I hope this never happens again lol. |

| Because we had no idea how to do a jump first off, and second it was pouring rain. We didn't want to screw around with electricity. |

Jesus christ... even I know how to jump a car.
And the rain wouldn't do much. You'd be totally safe, as the wires are insulated, and the car is grounded with rubber tires. Just so long as you son't touch any metal parts of the vae (i.e, the whole damn car) you'd be fine. |
