Pop starting the car when it's dead is another reason I want my next car to be a manual. Hopefully diesel-powered and a wagon to boot...

Ah, good point. My negative battery cable had corroded and worked its way loose enough that I couldn't start the Clunker on Thursday. I pop-started it, and the alternator could run the car well enough to get me home. This morning I attacked it with some baking soda/water solution, a toothbrush and new terminal protectors.
