if his Lumina is the good car - he needs to put the cables on his Positive AND negative battery terminals, to his wife's Positive on her battery, and then he can ground out the negative. So, I don't think your reply is accurate.

My neighbor needed a jump, and I wanted to use my '04 Venture, and i couldn't figure out how to get to my negative terminal on my battery. i ended up getting my '81 Trans Am over there to jump her car for her.

so - i re-ask the question, how do you get to the negative terminal on these vehicles????
