Yes, dead batteries and running out of fuel are constant problems. I ended up with a Mercury Turnpike Cruiser late on Tuesday night that had a dead battery but we managed to charge it enough to go the distance. I ended up with the next to the last car Thursday night, a 2012 Boss 302 Laguna SECA with a dead battery. The mechanic was pissed at me because I did not raise the hood before his arrival. What he did not see was my struggle getting into the car, bending myself around the seat bolsters while doing all possible not to hit the Cobra parked tight next to me. Oh, and then there was the 5 drunk idiots laughing while taking bets if I would hit the Cobra or not. I didn’t.
Yes, I have tons of stories!
The good consigners arrive with at least a 1/4 tank of gas and a fresh battery, or at least a healthy battery. In the heat of the moment, a disaster could happen. Late last night a ‘70 Chevelle SS was pushed up and over the block (dead battery) with the hood wide open because the right hinge was damaged.
