[Shotimes] Towed SHO

[James White]

Bet that I have push started one SHO or another at least 100 times :-(

Rather than push, it works better if you park on a hill, or at least 
a small parking lot grade.  I even once placed the rear wheels on 
a concrete parking lot "bumper" at a motel, I could get going in 
the morning.  I have been traveling out of town for as long as a 
week, parking at a spot where I could get enough of a coast going 
for a bump start.  Several times!

Get an Autozone lifetime warranty starter, and though you might have 
to do some advance planning when it fails again, at least you won't 
have to pay for it.
