Thank You

I had a Chevy Six that had the same sound as the flat six vid.
I was about 3 grand in second when the knock went away.

My favorite is the one with the economy engine stand:



He's really proud of that set up, isn't he?

Honest to god, what would happen if the engine dropped off the "stands" and the flywheel hit the ground?!? I've seen people start them up on jackstands, 2x4's, you name it. You can bet a flatty would keep running until it snaps the battery connection.

My thoughts exactly.

Did he leave the fan on to demonstrate his stupidity if it tipped over on his Tire Engine Stand ?

What a Ma-roon !

I liked the F6 Fire truck the best...not so much for the sound, but just because those old trucks are so cool. Must have watched too many parades as a kid!
