My well set up 944 did a good deed today!

With only the 3rd day on the road this spring I happened upon a stranded mother and Boyscout in their disabled Honda Odyssey minivan. The battery was dead and needed a jump. 944 TO THE RESCUE!!!

I pulled up along side and attached the jumper cables. Within no time the van started right up.

Oh my trusty, well set up 944. How I love thee.

Speedy

Silly, why would he shut it off? Or did the Honda suck all the juju out?

??? it would be no sweat...just like in a 944. Hmmm, maybe I should carry jumpers?

But the big question remains...was the mother hot?
