I was driving along Route 19 in McMurray, Pennsylvania several weeks ago and noticed a hot looking German car in the area’s cigar shop parking lot. I have seen so many Mercedes-Benz AMG cars there including, but not limited to, normally aspirated C63 AMGs all the way to the SLS AMG Coupe. “I bet that gets up and goes,” I thought to myself.

We don’t know how it is where you work, but around here, there are days at the office where you’d think we were employed by a sports network. With Labor Day behind us, and football cranking up for another season, the local sports action (both professional and collegiate) becomes the topic of most conversations.

So, disclaimer up front: Cyntur wanted us to review their product (Cyntur JumperPack Mini) so they sent me one. Now that this is out of the way, let me say that this thing is awesome! It is very similar to all those cell phone back up batteries that have been out for a few years, except it can also jump start your car too! I say “too” because Cyntur was smart...
