Stealing my own truck
 

Well in about an hour I need to drive to the bowling alley. Unfortunately the starter in my truck is dead. Nobody is around to help me start it. I guess I'll have to pop-start it myself.

I live on a flat street with room to push it. It's a light truck (Toyota 4x4) and I've pop-started it (with help) enough times to be pretty good at it. What do you think? Will I be able to pop start my own truck? If so, would it be like an unassisted triple play?

Results to follow.

Unassisted triple play? No.

Moderately difficult? Maybe.


Most people jump in too soon doing the clutch-pop solo. They don't get up enough speed.

That bitch gots to be movin'......

Yes. No. I owned a couple VW Beetles, you get no respect from me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Holy really late response Batman.

Anyway, I could not pop start this by myself, it was too heavy. I got it rolling but it died when I went to jump in it.

A Yota is heavier than a Beetle, too.

True. Though it makes up for the lack of weight with frequency.

I had a honda I used to do this with all the time but a truck?
