My car died and won't run. What do?

[KickFlow]

If you want to be able to start it up I can help. You only need 2 things.

Jumper cables, & carpeted floors.

What you need to do is pop your hood and attach the cables properly, then go to your seat and rub your feet against the carpeted floors. This builds static electricity and will help jump start your car. After around 10-15 minutes of rubbing your feet (with socks on) on the carpet, attach the other end of the cables to your ears. Immediately turn the key and step on the gas and your car should start normally. Make sure to put the black cable on LAST. Now remove the cables the same way you put them on, step out of your car, and take them off your car battery, close your hood, and you should be all set to drive home.

No. This is incorrect. I've done this around 3-4 times and it takes roughly 10-15 minutes.

After some edge-of-the-seat driving, two foot driving (with an automatic lol), and some tire squealing to keep the car from stopping, I managed to move the car onto the interstate and pedal my way home.

open the hood and check your oil and coolant, if they are bad, bring it home and don't drive it again until you get oil and coolant. also leave your hood open so it can cool better.

Car burns oil but that's not the problem. I just put another quart in a few days ago so that'll last me a couple weeks.

Not that.

ask someone to give you a jump start.

The battery is fine.

Probably would have a tough time making it to Virginia if I initially wasn't able to get home.

Well no, you attach it to your ears.

The battery is fine.

This works regardless of the problem on the vehicle.

Cover yourself in water before doing it.

Scrap/sell it and buy a junker on Craigslist for $5k. At least you'll have something that you know will run.

[Whackin]

push it to the nearest gas station.
