When I lived in Wisconsin all the local farmers used to bring all their junk cars to an open field. We would drain out all the oil and start them up with a brick on the gas pedal. A couple cases of beer, folding chairs, and a bonfire. We would take bets on which would seize up first. A Trifecta if you could pick 1,2,3.

Surprizingly some would run on for hours.

Then we cut em up and took em to scrap yard. I had a rusted out Geo Metro 3 cylinder that ran for two hours at 5,000 rpm with no oil. BOOM! She died in a dramatic kinetic flying apart. Most would just start to slow in RPM and seize while catching fire (which we would put out). We had one of those Plymouth grand caravan V6 engines that ran out of gas after 3 hours. As it cooled it seized up. That was voted strongest engine ever.

Back during Obomba’s idiotic Kash for Klunkers fiasco, huge numbers of perfectly usable cars were destroyed in a similar manner, but without the beer.

There many YouBoob videos of this process.
