So, some good news
When I broke my wrist, they gave me a pipe-like gizmo to inhale from, I don't know what it was but I wanted to take some home. I was trippin'

Hope you make a speedy, painless recovery.

people not being able to grasp the concept that there is no ''Ground'' in a DC circuit. its either Positive or Negative... this includes vehicle wiring.

Relative to what?

Unless you do want a truly floatng DC system, then it's fairly common practice to 'ground' one side of the DC supply (i.e. connect it to earth, widely accepted as "Ground" reference point, 0V.)

I do accept that vehicle wiring systems are not truly 'grounded'.
