don';t you guys watch myth busters?? geeze. they did
all of these old tales on a only caddy v8 engine. (no
longevity tests though)

1) coffe grounds do stop a coolant leak
2) a raw egg in the radiator stops a coolant leak
3) sugar in the gas tank doesn't do squat
4) potato(e) in tail pipe does not stop the rig from
starting (w/ Bush spelling (e))
5) mothballs (naphlene, not paradicholorbenzene) in
gas tank made no noticable issues
6) shooting a car will not cause it to blow up
7) you can't get sucked up by a fire-fighting
helecopter's water intake
8) tomato juice washes out shunk smell
(t-butylmercaptan)
9) you cannot go around a swing with rockets

and more...
