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...

-matthew no cable, just an antenna, so i only get myth busters when at a hotel on trips.
