How Many People Does it Take to Jump Start a Car?! Part I

Earlier this month I had an issue with my car and the Tires going flat. Although one of the tires still has a leak and gets pretty low once a week, the other tire was replaced one night when it went completely flat. The other evening I was driving back to Columbia, when I noticed the Battery light would light up every now and then. I didn’t really think anything of it, and made note to ask my parents what that meant. The next day I noticed it again at a stoplight and made a point to text message my mother and ask her. It meant the Battery was getting low and dying.

With that information, I figured that my car would be okay for a while, but that I may need to get it charged later this week or next month when I went home to visit again. I need to go home and actually let my dad change the oil and do some other things to my 17-year-old Toyota Corolla. However, I was mistaken with this assumption, because the battery died later that day.

I was driving around waiting for Sara or Marisa to text me back and let me know if we were doing anything later that evening or now, when I decided I would go to Krispy Kreme and get myself an original glazed doughnut. When I went back out to my car in order to leave, it wouldn’t start. I obviously was angry and embarrassed. I proceeded to text message all of my friends to let them know what had happened, and to see if any of them could come and help me jump-start my car.

After much discussion with numerous people, we finally found a set of jumper cables. Ironically it was Meghan that had a set, and they were in her car. Of course, her mother had to tell her that. Marisa came to keep me company at Krispy Kreme, even though she didn’t have cables. Meghan soon arrived with her cables and as we were trying to moved my car so as to line up the batteries, Mitchell also arrived. Once he was there we got things on a role, because as we all know, he is the most masculine man in our group of friends. We finally succeeded in getting my car going and as we were leaving, Meghan and I decided to stop and get a drink at Monterray’s Mexican Restaurant in West Columbia. Mitchell and Trey Also came.

So, the answer to the Question “How Many People Does it Take to Jump Start a Car?!” is 4.5, two Men, two Women and a Boxer Puppy named Maxcy!
