rushthatspeaks and I just successfully jumpstarted
teenybuffalo's car, which had died on the street outside their house. We had jumper cables, two sets of instructions, and no previous experience. Both of us expected the car would growl a bit, we'd check to make sure we hadn't clipped the cables on wrong, eventually we'd call a garage.
It totally worked. Teeny Buffalo has just driven away. (To find a garage, but still.)
I feel a ridiculous sense of accomplishment.
