1.  That mickey car is not mine, but it's fantastic in some odd way but I'd never own it.

2. My car is an 04 Honda CRV. I was jumping it with a 2016 Pathfinder.  The jumper cables are newer but somewhat smaller in diameter than my old set. Having the jumper cables hooked up to the other running car didn't make any changes.

3. When I turn the key today, sometimes it tries to turn over but barely makes it through that cranking noise. Other times it makes no noise.  It's not been a problem of the car continually trying to turn over but just not starting.  It's not "cranking" if I understand that term correctly -does it mean the same as turning over?  Anyway - it's not cranking now.  It's cranked less and less over the week, today it stopped.
