That's a good tale, Shane, but it probably wasn't the Lucas that did
it. Here's some relatively inexpensive entertainment bored kids in
small towns will engage in: Get a tired motor from the junkyard, get
it running, floor it, then drain the engine oil out while it's
running. It takes a surprisingly long time before it'll seize up
(sometimes up to 10 minutes).
I think I even saw a video floating around on the 'net of someone
doing just that.
Now that you know the secret you can make your appropriate beer and
kissin' bets. (Just don't confuse which sex has to cough up the beer
or the kisses!
