I am with Jeff on this one. I have never seen a car walk away with just a shorted starter from a neg pos hook up.
I've never seen a car walk away period.

Ok ok a bit childish, I know. But none-the-less I couldn't resist hehe

This usually burns out the diodes in the alternator.

I accidently did this to a friends car a few years ago on her ford probe. Fried one of the main fuses under the hood and that was it from what i knew of. She was lucky to only have a fuse blow and nothing else was affected.. I doubt you will be that lucky.
Better tell mom to break out the check book! jk
At least you have the ***** to admit to a stupid mistake. Some people have to learn the hard way when it comes to a lot of things.. I can tell that you are one of those people.

my roomates did this. started fires on top of both their batteries. surprizingly that was the only damage done. both started fine once the jumpers were put on properly.

cars in question was a Navigator and a dodge ram v6.
