    Hi….I’m 35…Im a computer programmer and I refuse to lose.

    I was a bit intimidated creating a user-handle here upon observing all the vets vast knowledge and rep. Hope I can be part of the circle and get some hot takes.

    Last night I was practicing and filming some ‘Stealth Mode’ footage for my upcoming anticipated YouTube Channel (Im taking a course at the local community college, to learn how to add visual video effects using video editing software)

    Anyway I wound up falling asleep in my car after hours and hours of acquiring footage and my battery died on me so I’m about to make my second post ever on this forum on how to either get the car jumped or perform what I call a “secret of the pro’s” tip from the Vets on here on how to temp boost the battery and start the Vehicle.

    And in the days before compact jump boxes, we would try to flag down a friendly-looking passerby who might have jumper cables.

    I just hope there is a cat shield present as that would be too easy to remove :sneaky:.
