There is a red doodad in the fuse box. Pull it out all the way. Connect your positive jumper cable to it. Connect your negative jumper cable to the door latch U piece on the door jamb.
A jump start box probably won't work. Those need to see some battery voltage to start supplying power. Safety, you know. Mine has an override button that you can press to force it to provide power, some don't.
Jumper cables definitely work. Don't hook them up backwards!
Here's a photo of said doodad. I used the door latch and another car just like a jump start and it worked like a charm. THANK YOU theprf!
ORIGINAL POST:
WELL BOYS I DID IT.
Could anybody kindly remind me the procedure to ideally get power to the car via the fusebox - I believe there is a method for this from my Tur-bro's.
Second option but not ideal option is how to fish the stupid cable out of the front fender.
Please thanks.

Just trying to assist getting some more technical information on here! I thought I could remember but I also thought instead of looking it up let's get some knowledge flowing.

Well, in your collective defense, the mission statement was mostly just "F**k that other place, I'm out"
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
