Ok ok a bit childish, I know. But none-the-less I couldn't resist hehe
Ive got a 79 3/4 ton chevy van its got a full **** carpet, fridge, sink. rap around couch, bed, jungle rack, its the **** (ill try to get some pics), but one time someone did that when they were trying to jump it, and it just welded the jumpers to the terminals. oops.
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.

well the electrical system is fine. i got a new battery, but still no start up. it sounds as if she is about to go but just doesnt. every electrical thing is working fine. ya i was considering i blew a fuse, but idk yet
but i mean there were no signs of negative or positive so i just did it correspondingly to the other batt. i never jump cars anyways..well i have learned the hard way a couple of times now. the jumping of my car and the fuvking up of my axle.
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.
