If you've been driving long enough, this scenario might sound familiar: You get into your car, turn on the ignition, and then... nothing. Your battery is dead, and you're probably going to be late.

The Mychanic Smart Jumper Cables ($25) include the brilliant feature of reverse polarity protection. Live positive to dead positive, live negative to ground—that's the car-jumping wisdom that's ...

Well, I figure there are some mechanics in the Ars Collective, so here goes. My dad was changing the battery in our '96 Mercury Villager. He, um, connected the terminals backwards (reversed the ...
