I think we all do what we have to do. We had a terrible cold snap here recently, and Peggy's car died an ugly death in the parking garage where she works. We couldn't get it towed out because the ceilings were too low to allow a wrecker in.

Peggy took a half day off from work, went to the auto parts store, bought a battery, and installed it in the car with nothing more than a nail file and an adjustable wrench (IN THE DARK!)

And as she put it quite proudly, "without even breaking a nail, though I did have to repair the polish on my left thumb. Used the nail as a screwdriver."

I'm still waiting for the wrecker! BTW the car started fine.
