The first time it stranded me, this old friend of the family everyone calls Mopar Kelly came to help. He got underneath and said "Try cranking it and hold it in the start position."I did, and the third time he hit it with a hammer it spun.It just sucked when it happened on a date. Had to get my duds dirty and it was fairly humiliating beings I was 18 and stuff like that mattered. back then. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />It was a cool car with a huge back seat, but there were times the starter motor wasn't the only thing on I wanted to hammer on!</blockquote>
