Aww, I was hoping to see that engine in action
I remember there was a Darwin Award given to a guy who stole a jet engine and attached it to his car and took it out to the salt flats or somewhere like that to break the land speed record
It was said that after firing up the engine he at some point panicked and attempted to slow down so he hit the brakes which melted, and I think his wheels melted as well. Then his car went airborne for a few miles and slammed into the side of a cliff in a big explosion
Supposedly it was a true story, and that’s dying like a fuckin champ
