Re: dead battery (tkbillg)
You'd have to run it on the highway for quite a distance. I recommend that you charge it with an automatic battery charger (6-15 amps). Someone recently asked the same question about jumping and many forum members have used their C5s to jump or receive jumps. Personally, I can't see how connecting your battery to someone else's can damage your car. Still, I'd also check my owner's manual to see if any precautions are listed, as well.
