    Boy are you slow.

    Someone has to be turning the key to start the damn thing while your jumping it! You don't think it'll just start on it'sown like Herbie the Love Bug? How does that even make sense?!

    Have Verlene sit behind the wheel and turn the car over WHILE you're jumping on the hood.

    But if you're high society like me you don't lower yourself to doing such medial taksks. I always call an AA person to do it for me, plus they never give me sh*t for being drunk and leaving the lights on.

    Maybe those 100 jumps could have taken you all the way to work if you went in the right direction instead of just up and down!

    like 100 or 100?

    here's what you do

    park the car on a hill

    release the parking break

    jump @ the bumper forcefully so that you are pushing it down hill

    do this several times until it starts rolling downhill on its own

    then chase it down and try to open the door and get in before it stops rolling

    if you don't get into it the first time, thats ok, push it back up to the top of the hill and try again

    Are you jumping on the car or just beside it?

    you have to be on the roof jumping as hard as you can

    You must jump on one leg. Get yourself some jumper cables or a jump rope and use it to energize your leg.

    'Jump starting' your car means you must have sex with it to get it started, silly. It doesn't literally mean to jump up and down.

    There is no set #. It depends on how high you jump.
