Who Needs Jumper Cables When You Have Four Mexicans?

[Dibbons]

Went to the body shop here in La Paz, Mexico, to pick-up the '92 Jeep Cherokee we just had painted (they painted it the wrong color so we bargained for $100 discount). The battery was dead.

The four guys in the shop walk over carrying a car battery (I'm still sitting in the driver's seat). They say go ahead and start it. No contact (just clicking) but I can see sparks flying by looking through the crack under the now open hood. Evidently together they are somehow jumping the battery with a couple of huge combination wrenches instead of using the customary jumper cables. On the fourth or fifth try, it finally made contact enough to get started and drive home.

They were just learning how to arc weld and jump a vehicle at the same time.
Talk about time management

I watched a guy hold the jumper battery upside down , post to post ,on the dead battery once to jump a dead car. It worked prefect.....

Jump started a Jeep Wagoneer without a battery once and drove it. Probably wasn't the best idea but it worked.

I have seen that several times and did it once on a boat

Had a friend push cars together, metal bumpers, and had one wire from the 2 positives to jump a car

This took only two Mexicans and they didn't need a battery.
