Had to use my Crossie to jump my dying Riviera and I cringed throughout the process, but the Crossfire was none the worse for wear :whew:

That having been said, I will invest in one of those portable battery chargers or charger/inflator combos that fit in a briefcase. Saw a cheapo one at O'Reillys before I got my SRT but this one might do the trick. You can blow out your electrical system even on a GOOD jumpstart

Good that you are in Illinois. If you are conservative, there are many folks who can help you out there (AA, FP, LOL). Otherwise, there's AAA just sayin'
