One thing I learned about having an old car sometime, or a car with an old battery, was to park it on a hill, if possible, in the event there was trouble getting it started. Of course that wouldn't work with an automatic, I think, and it wouldn't be a good idea on a snowy day. But my fortunes have increased since those days.
I had to do this all the time with my old VW. The starter didn't work and I couldn't afford to get it fixed, so I'd always park on hills. Trouble was, I lived on a street with a very slight grade, so I had to get someone to give me a push down the street to get me started.
