One time at a dealership the new car carrier's batteries were down and the driver asked me to give him a bump start. This was liek a Peterbuilt or a freightliner and he wanted a push start so I answered "yea, FuckinA right!" Then he said "Does that run?" pointing to a 49 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 2x12 wood front bumper someone had traded in sitting in the dirt lot. I said I don't know lets check. I got the keys and it started and I pulled it up behind the trailer of the truck and he waved from the cab so I put it into granny low (it luckily had the big ass old 4 speed) and pushed on that piss yaller trailer, (Oops, I just gave away what company it is to those who know..) and pused it a bit and when it got up to about 1-1/2 mph he dumped the clutch and it fired right up and he took off...TRUE STORY!

I drug a 68 Dart GT on a tow dolly from Largo, FL to West Palm Beach, FL, 175 miles, with my 4cyl Isuzu Pickup. Moral of the story; Don't buy a used car from me.
