I didn't know that tire-smoking starts were also the slowest..... I thought it was "good in the snow", but I guess everyone thinks that when 1 wheel drive is all they know.... I thought octane booster a) actually boosted octane and b) made your car run better..... I thought plugging the breather was a good idea because of the oil in the intake.....
Holy crap I was stupid.
My 2nd and was my 1983 Chrysler 5th Avenue. It was the last of Chrysler's RWD beasts before the new 300/Charger. It had a 5.2L (318) V8 with an amazing 130hp @ 3800rpm.
It got 10mpg. It had some sort of electronically controlled carburator & ignition system that was better at completely failing in the middle of intersections than providing fuel & spark (eventually replaced it with a traditional carburator and electronic ignition). It had 3 catalytic converters, 2 of which were clogged. The oil filter was expertly block by the exhaust manifold. 2-quart leaks @ startup from the oil sender are a "common problem".
I think it embodied the true spirit of detriot iron perfectly
