On a old car like our 986s I have no problem jumping other peoples cars, but if it were from my BMW... no way. The electronics are so sensitive in these later model cars. And some of the older 2004 ish cars have no overload or circuit protection.

Had a friend who had their BMW jumped incorrectly by a co worker, worst thing you can do on these cars. Fried so many things in the car. blown leds in the dash, head light control units blown, cruise control no longer works, ECM fried, $2500 just in parts and the car is still not the same.

If I do it when I'm in a later model car, Ill call AAA for them and let them do it.
