Portions for Foxes asked:


I need to get home from school this weekend for a wake, but my car’s battery has been dead and I haven’t had a chance to replace it. The ride home is usually about 4 hours. If I jumped the car, do you think I could make it home without the battery dying? I don’t know much about cars, and I don’t want to end up in the Bronx with a dead battery =\ Really need to get home though.
