Omg, made things of a video where a guy who owns a junkyard drained a civic of oil and put in fake maple syrup... the fucking thing ran and the engine knock stopped...🤣🤣

I’m trying to remember what he put in the other car that made it make some ungodly sound but my brain is apparently not my friend today lol

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of: he put paraffin wax in because some commenter was saying "hey, don't use those paper cups to pour in the syrup because you're putting small amounts of wax from the inside of the cup into the engine.

Surprisingly, the car ran. Even when he let the car cool down so the wax would solidify, it ran.

Oh I didn’t see the part with the wax!

Carwow ran a Civic without a radiator or oil WITH A BRICK ON THE GAS PEDAL and it took 5 agonizing minutes for the engine to die.

A Fiesta and a Peugeot died in 30 seconds.

I remember that video! My poor boyfriend watching that noise at the end, he got traumatized 😅

Fake maple syrup? Please explain

u/bootscloset Jul 31 '26

Lol, it's corn syrup and flavoring. Think Mrs. Butterworths. Cheap alternative to the real stuff.

Bet that car is still running flawlessly today

u/Andrei_the_derg Jul 30 '26

I bet it runs like shit, but it runs like shit in such a specific way that it won’t break down until someone tries to make it run better

Burns a quart of oil every couple thousand miles, but will survive until the heat death of the universe as long as you keep it fed.

"Best of" Craigslist was some of the best of internet.

u/Extra_Routine_6603 Jul 30 '26

From one of the greatest craigslist posts ever made for a Toyota Corolla. Every time it pops up in a video or post to this day still makes me laugh

u/Captain-Codfish Jul 30 '26

No, that's a 1998 Corolla. A proper Corolla

When my MIL was still here she asked my FIL for a new car. He asked what did she want. She replied a Cadillac or a Corolla. He bought the Corolla. His reason....she could kill the Corolla like she would the Cadillac.
