The reason why? Maybe will not have some one to help push your car.

You know I tell a lot of my customers this: Call a cab and a tow truck, you'll be WAY better off. Some things just aren't worth it.

Must be some sketchy parts of Chicago near you. The two times I've had to tow my Lincoln (starter motor died, brake line developed a suspicious hole) the tow truck drivers were decent folks and there was nothing worrisome about the ride.

Then hitchhike. Or find a farmer with a tractor. If you attempt to hand crank a modern car, you're going to hurt yourself - or your car - and you're going to be sorry. Besides, if you're in not-America, isn't your car a manual transmission anyway? Just push start it. You know we fat lazy Americans like our automatics.

Well unless you've been cruising through Englewood, I'm not sure what you mean.
