So Hammie's starter is on its way out. Actually truth be told the solenoid 
is on its way out but lets not quibble. When the engine and by relation 
the starter itself is hot the solenoid won't engage, you turn the key and 
get nada.
So I've got a week off coming up and I'm thinking thats a great time to 
ship him off to my Indy since I'll be off to camp with the pickup truck. 
Since I generally only go to and from work and 2 hours seems to be plenty 
of time for a cool down I've just been watching where I park so just in 
case I'll have somewhere to roll and get started (the wonder of the 4spd 
manual). So today on my way home I had to get a present for my wife as 
today is our anniversary.
Anyway this one place has a pretty good slope but as I was coasting my car 
was like a magnet for people to jump out in front of and I found myself at 
the bottom with no momentum.
So I was noodling around under the hood trying the screwdriver trick and 
found there was no way I could get the screwdriver across both contacts at 
the same time, ARRRGGHHH!
Then this pretty young woman pulls up in an old Suzuki and asked me if I 
needed help, she seemed interested so I explained the situation. She 
suggested we push (240D remember) the car up the hill again...
I really don't know how we managed it, she's not a big girl and I'm not in 
any kind of shape. Anyway we get to the top with my lungs on fire. I told 
her to get in, gave her the scoop on what we're doing and we'll go. The 
look on her face was priceless... My logic is that I'm big so maybe I'll 
be able to get the car moving faster quicker. Whatever, it worked, Hammie 
started and she didn't steal him. I tried to give her ten bucks, she 
EARNED it but she wouldn't take it.
