As I descend rapidly down the steep hill, I see my car speed increase with each passing second. Shrubs, houses and pedestrians pass turned into my pair smears. The danger that hangs over me produce surges of adrenaline running through my veins translating into outrageous in my heart palpitations and cold sweat Perlan my forehead. I think the brake pedal, and I pray not to have to use it because I know that stopping now would be catastrophic.
exchange for all benefits under the car, the driver yields to the incessant demands of any vehicle: gasoline, oil, brake fluid, antifreeze and a thousand other things. Neglecting any of these can be disastrous and lead to forced pedestrians. But while a lack of fuel can only be remedied with more fuel, a lack of battery may be alleviated with the right combination of physical and inertia.
And that's very lucky, because unlike gasoline and oil, provided the battery warning before failing. A driver can drive your car all day and pass smoothly through hell to turn it on at night. This capricious nature of the batteries has forced some to carry jumper cables, but this requires the kindness of another driver, something that can hardly rely on today. Infected with nihilism, some drivers have chosen to buy batteries for laptops using cargo to pass vehicles exhausted. Very convenient, but far from be an option for drivers with limited budgets. Some choose to call the insurance agency to seek help, but if the vehicle is stranded in the dark and a little crowded, it may be that when we finally reached the lift, there is not enough tow vehicle.
For all the above, that push is still the preferred choice to start the vehicle in an emergency. This activity is very simple when carrying a passenger or some kind soul gets to push as one gets to try to start the vehicle. Things get complicated when the only person available to push is the same as turning it on. This produces frenzied scenes own stunt hilarious movies of the golden age of silent movies.
For those lucky enough to have parked on sloping ground, all that remains is to remove the handbrake and let the weight and gravity take over. If the battery is not very tired, just ten or twenty meter drop to start the vehicle. But if the thing is serious, as sometimes happens, it is necessary to drop the car much more, until the store collect sufficient charge.
And so I saw in the situation described at the beginning. Seeing that my car refused to start, I had to let more time elapse I considered prudent. Although the street was on a steep slope, the stubborn car would not start. Turn off air conditioning, radio and anything else that could drain precious energy to boot, but nothing. The car began to lose momentum as the ground became less vertical. I looked around and realized that my fast ride I was taking one of those neighborhoods to which one does not enter or even get paid. I decided to try a different approach. Adjourned the litany of expletives that came muttering, I stared at the dashboard, and mood too steep, said: "If you turn now, I swear that tomorrow I'll buy a new battery." Silence. I tried to control my nervousness and added: "And I'll take you to wash, vacuum and polish." The engine groaned almost inaudibly. Seductive voice caressed the dashboard as she whispered: "And of course, you fill the tank with high octane gasoline." And in that moment, the car pulled away.
