My cousin and I were driving his sister's Pinto 30 years ago from her wedding to the reception. He ran over a cinder block and poked a hole in the oil pan. Fully drained the oil in about two blocks of driving. It didn't move further under its own power.

At the local roundy-round track (Tri City, near Saginaw, MI), they took a couple of "rice burners" for what they billed as "The Burning Of The Rice." They had a Honda Accord & a Toyota of some sort...drained the coolant & oil from them and drove them until they stopped. It took nearly 15 minutes before they crapped out!

I think they were able to do donuts on it for a good 14min or so before it finally died--including a couple hydro-lock events! -Bryan --- On Sat, 11/1/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Crown Vic on Dyno (NOC) (NCC) (NPC) (NMC) To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, November 1, 2008, 12:02 AM Video of a Crown Vic on the RRE dyno with oil and coolant both drained. It ran for 7 and a half minutes under load. Ford FTW! I wonder if that was Dino oil or synthetic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiBJZFwBDaA Jim in Tucson ________________________________ Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel.
