I have been told by various Master Mechanics at carious times that newer cars that have the computer running right off the battery post (we have the conencting plate, but pretty much same thing) should not try to jump other cars. It can screw with your computer due to various reasons. I'm guessing something along the lines of unhealthy voltage fluctuations.

I tried to jump my buddies Lincoln Mark VIII and it caused my car to get all frazzled with little tufts of smoke here and there. I quickly stopped helping :-) (Could be because he may have needed more juice to supply his V8 setup. Don't know, but I didn't like it...)


I love my Contour to death, but my 'vette is still my #1 baby.
There's money to be made in racing. I should know. I put a lot of it there.
You can make a small fortune in racing. Start with a large one.
How fast do you want to go...how much money do you have?
You can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!
