There was a story about a guy who needed a push start but his car was automatic. His friend had offered to help, and they were talking about how you could do it, but "you had to get up to about 30mph." So they jump in their respective cars and the guy wonders where his friend went, only to look in the rear view mirror to see his friend approaching at about 30mph.
Clever!How about one of these it's not cheep but it's blueand color coordination half the game.
Not the devices intended purpose but puts out up to 15 volts and at a solid 30a should raise SOC of the FLA starting batt. Enough to get you rolling in 10-15 min. Just add some fancy quick connector plugs an on board interface and some custom warning labels. So many possibilities.
And it's Blue!

In my owners manual I found a "rolling start" section and I was excited thinking it might be for bumping the engine to start it. But the truth was they just allow pushing the starter button in neutral while rolling lol. Not sure I'd need to do a rolling start unless the starter is busted, but OK lol.Back in the day, this would not have been an issue. If you had a stick shift, you could always push start the car with a friend.
Hey blue is my favorite color I've invested in some of that blue stuff it's incredibly reliable you usually get what you pay for.How about one of these it's not cheep but it's blue

I was trying to come up with a cheap DIY hack that would not put $1000+ worth the of equipment at risk, since no bells were ringing I though why not through a $400 solution at a potential problem that we hope never occurs and can easily be avoided.
It's kind of like half the crap in the back of my Van
being it was still under warranty or a lease no snip-snip.
I was able to roll start my 2010 VW TDI, (one of the last diesel manuals platforms you could buy). Even with all the electric sensors and systems, she still fired up. Live on a hill and thankfully the garage floor is sloped and I was able to make a backwards full turn and pop the clutch once pointed in the right direction rolling down the hill before needing to come to a stop on our blind driveway. It was one shot and I nailed it and made my flight.Back in the day, this would not have been an issue. If you had a stick shift, you could always push start the car with a friend.
Always a plus when you are up on a hill.
Yes, an option.
