Steve:

I think Harold meant the push start kind of jump start, not the jump start
using jumper cables....so that if his battery dies outin the middle of
nowhere with no one around to give him a jump, he cannot even resort to the
last resort of jump starting his van by pushing it in gear and then letting
out the clutch...
