Re: DeLorean Jumpstarting.

I have found that the small battery packs they sell in mail order 
catalogs, Costco, and auto stores to be much more convinient and safer 
than jump starting off of a car. There is no danger of damaging the 
"donor" car. It doesn't require getting close with the car and is more 
powerful than a long set of jumper cables. Some come with built-in 
lights and compressors. I have jumped positive ground vehicles and 6 
volt vehicles. It is insurance in case MY battery ever goes dead, with 
jumper cables you still need another car, with the battery pack I can 
help myself. I find I am using mostly for others, I rarely use it for 
myself except to pump up tires. You can find them as cheap as $40, 
less than a good quality set of jumper cables!
