Bet it wouldn't work with an automatic!
I had a '77 Mustang II that the battery died while I was at a coworkers house.
Fortunately he lived on a slight incline.
Gave it a shove, hopped in, rolled downhill and popped the clutch.
Got home and went for a new battery in the wife's car.

Why not just push it? As long as you're not trying to push it uphill, it's not that hard. It didn't look like that car was very heavy.

There must not have been much compression in those cylinders!

Good thing he let go of the rope.

Apparently that's not how it's done in Mother Russia.

In Soviet Russia, car jumps YOU.

Do they have automatic transmissions in Russia?

Now that was an eye opener....never seen anything like that before!

Wow.........+1 for trying.
When I was young I had a non-starter. No problem, I lived on a hill.

Actually, now that I think about it, this would be a pretty good solution if you were stuck somewhere by yourself. It would be hard to push and pop the clutch.
