Has this ever happen to any one driving and my car shut down im stock in my sr5 86.

Now to get to the point as I said shut like I'm doing 35 into a turn and I get a bog when I down shifted like the motor flooded well I put into gear and power it over rotating the motor like how you push start a car well nothen but look down at all my gauges and see my rpm is dead and start thinking fast why is it dead but I'm still costing in the process I have found out my motor has unreal bad compression but back to what happen.

So I turn in to a gas station what luck and try to push start nothen no electric at all ignition dead electric fan dead all dead what the F$&@ well I'm thinking what happen to my motor so I get out and go to lift the hood....... Um ........ ? What I can't seem to lift the hood it is heavy as a midget feasting on mc donalds

So I get it up some and see in there holy crap my battery welded it's self to my hood and killed every thing so I shacked the hood and the battery droped so I start looking my ground cable had blown up on the side wall so luck be it again I have my tools so I start working on it well I replug it back in and make sure it all works well it got me home but found out this crap can happen crazy

Oh yeah I just typed this all from my iPhone and yes it sucked. later

Also that is what battery restraints are for.

Bungee chords are helpful in a pinch.

you can pick a tie down up at auto zone/advanced auto/etc for cheap. I think I paid a whopping 8 dollars for mine.... including tax....

Hey hey over here!..... look at the flags!!! LISTEN I'm trying to tell you something.... boom...too late! I think this little guy does a good impression of that! LOL
