I once swore I'd never own a car new enough to be computerized and now I have one more reason why. Except for my daily driver, the D is the newest car I've ever owned.

Actually I drive a 96 Hummer (OK - I broke down and bought a computerized vehicle and I hate the fact that I can't just push start it myself) with dual Optima yellow tops and am always willing to come to everyone's rescue. I'll rethink that! Although I have to say confirming "red to positive" is my standard for jumping cars, much like one would say "clear" for a defribulator or "four" for golfers. I had to smile at the idea of a frozen battery here in the desert -- that will be a sure sign of Armageddon. Thanks again for the advice. ...........................LP 10440 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
