Battery dead...push start?
Ok my dumbass left my lights on and now my battery's dead. I've push started my old camaro before when the starter was bad (good battery) and it worked fine. Can I do this on my Accord when the battery is dead and hopefully charge it back up?

Re:Battery dead...push start?
Hondas suck for pushing or being pushed. The bumpers are so weak.

Re:Battery dead...push start?
I've heard thats a bad idea because the timing belt can jump teeth. This happened to my brother old mustang II 4 cyl, don't know if it would happen on Hondas.
