I used 3 bottles of Everclear to drive home after a boony party in AZ in my 69 Impala. Was 110 f at 6:00 am in the desert & everyone had a serious hangover when I ran outta gas. My peeps wanted to murder me. We got home but I burned up 2 valves & killed my muffler. One of my passengers said "dude, fire is coming out of your tail pipe!" at which point I said a prayer & floored it. Kek. Burned out all of the carbon in that old 350. Replaced the valves & muffler & the engine purred like a well fed kitty.
Automatic. only got over 70-80 for very short distances. Dirt roads most of the way home. Really felt like it might explode though. Bought the car for $400 & was ready to kill it. Was so effing ill at that point… Only thing worse than Everclear is Southern Comfort. The smell is enough to make me puke. Sigh, Lynrd Skynrd & SC. Murica!
