Rolling on the floor laughing! Oh dang hahahah! That is not as bad as when i hooked up jumper cables the wrong way in auto tech class. When i was 1st getting started. I hooked up negative to positive and positive to negative. Started the car spark.... saw some smoke...... I got out the car like hmm it didn't start. I took of the jumper cables threw them on the floor thinking they were garbage. When i went back to cleaning them up i realized the cooper teeth were gone! hahahaha

What's really funny is how far they let that jack go into the door before they realized they might be doing it wrong!!!

Haha I used to work in a body shop that did a lot of work for Maplewood Lexus. One of the other painters put a jumper box backwards on an IS250 and fried the ECU. It cost the shop about $1400 to replace it.

isn't there supposed to be a fuse that blows if you hook battery cables up backwards?

lol. I've seen plenty of times where people have jacked it from the oil pan. Some cars are so rusty, it goes right through the car. lol.
