It's the black to black mistake that really gets everyone. Modern batteries are pretty good at not exploding, but to be safe you should always pick a ground point away from the battery and fuel lines. There's almost always a nice bolt attached to the chassis nearby that's a better choice than the negative terminal.

Couldn't resist the jab, but only because I know I'm reading my future in your posts.
