Bad day for one chevy owner.

Okay today I was at my neighborhoods O'reillys auto parts looking for some cleaning products, I pulled up right next to a beautiful red 2010 Chevy Silverado, owner was a pretty young kid around 18 definitely under 20 (later found out it was his fathers truck). I walk into the store and I overhear the employees talking about the kid, more laughing then talking really. The kid accidently plugged his car battery the opposite way. Now I have no idea how he did this because I thought his battery was a color coded side mount and I believe that mounting it in the opposite direction would be pretty hard. Needless to say when he finally plugged it in the right way. . .No power to anything. Fuses were checked and every fuse was still intact. Car ended up getting towed 7 hours later to the dealership.

Just thought I'd share this story.

So, he tried the battery one way and it didn't work, so he then turned the Silverado around and tried again .......
