Chicks dig scars, right?

So, I almost had my face melted off, a couple days ago.
Left my car’s lights on and killed the battery. A buddy from work was willing to jump for me.
So, we hook everything up, and I get in my car to try starting it. Buddy says, “Dude!” I get out and see that, lo and behold, both batteries are smoking!
Keep this in mind the next time you jump a car’s battery: do not look at the color of the wire coming off the terminal when you hook up the jumper cables, look at the actual terminal symbol, + or -.
It is only by the grace of God that I didn’t:
- Screw up one or both cars’ electrical systems
- Suffer serious chemical burns to my face
I’d hooked the positive lead up to the negative terminal on my battery. It still gives me the willies thinking about it.
