If I needed a Jumpstart...

Route the emergency pull cable from the wheelwell to your tow hook cover on the front bumper. This give you a good reason to take off the front bumper and clean out your radiators. Actually pretty easy to do! While doing so reroute the cable. It has saved me once or twice in the last 3 years!

BTW- the whole "my trunk is locked and I can't get at my battery to jump it" thing is the most assine feature of the Boxster. Great car, what they hell were they thinking?

Considering all the electronics you might fry with a jump, I'd def bump start it.

That's one of the first lessons I taught my kids, how to bump it forward and in reverse!

I've seen this written up before. How does it impact the ability to install the tow hook? The Boxster isn't the only porsche with this issue. If you get ice on the cable and it freezes up, you can get locked out of a 911, 914 or 356 trunk. And, in the early 356's and 914s, that means you can't get gas into the car
