This time, I just made a mistake, I guess.

Oh well, this has been established

Next subject, please...like anyone got a front bumper?!?

Please, if you need a bumper, go to the proper forum for that and post.
Let the thread die.

Come on folks - it sucks for him, but really, it was botched.
I've jump-started cars for about 30 years now and never had one single issue.

Black (-) goes to Black (-)
Red (+) goes to Red (+)

Put the red on first.
Then the black.

no.

you ground the wire to the car, not the battery. seems even you don't no the correct way. next time choose your words with some maturity. theres no need to snap at her.

Hey, nOOb, I've jumped cars using both methods for 30 years, and if you're careful with your connections, they work fine and cause no damage.
I suggest YOU learn a little about the place before coming in and starting smack with your 70 posts.

Most people may tell you that it's best to jump to the frame or engine mounts for the neg, and that's good advice, but battery-to-battery also works safely.
Never had an issue.
