You never get old, do you? Actually, while I'm on the subject, both blogs need more posts on rocket-powered utes... Ahh, Jalopnik. You never get old, do you?

Actually, while I'm on the subject, both blogs need more posts on rocket-powered utes...

It's no longer in the ebay store, by the way.

I agree that this had to have been a dare/bet. Can I be the next scammer? I've got a super-special keychain that digitally enhances the electromagnetic pulses passing through the ignition, smoothing out the voltage going to the spark plugs for more complete combustion! It'll make me millions! With all the quotes you copied into this post, Dan, you're sure to get some interesting ads...

Stealing from people with cancer is pretty hard to top, people like that should be stoned to death after having their balls slammed in a drawer. @evilspoons - it's full of belief, if you open it the belief escapes.

I've just bought a whole bunch of those 12v cigarette lighter doublers (to run two devices from one socket) and I intend to stack them and then run as many of these MPS do-dads as I can afford. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank with my 2000bhp, zero emission car that I never need to fill with fuel again! Then you'll see my friend... I don't understand why you mock such devices.

But Dan, obviously you love these things. Admit it. You have a collection of them. You probably have every single one of them installed on your car. Not only do you get great gas mileage, I bet gas actually pours OUT of your tank! The faster you go, the more gasoline you produce. Why do they do it? But Dan, obviously you love these things.

An aunt of his was dying from cancer, and the family got together and pooled their resources (I believe it was in the 50s) and purchased this device that was supposed to cure her. It was a largish box on a metal stand that she plugged in at night to bathe her in "electromatic" waves while she slept. after she died... just a few weeks after recieving this device Dad managed to get some time alone with the "electromatic" and his tool set. the box was just filled with a maze of wiring, most just soldered to the casing. This dosen't rise to that level of charlatinism, but it comes close. Thank you Dan for dealing with all of this for us. My 67 year old father once told me a story.

It's got to have something other than air so the customer doesn't feel ripped off. I wonder if it's just full of lead shot or if there's some useless electronics, like a big resistor.
