“sodium silicon is poured onto the car”

Once again, a dolt writes an article. Sodium silicon is poured INTO the cars engine through the oil filler and the engine runs until it dies.

yah...I believe the sodium silicon is super abrasive and counteracts any lubrication the oil may have provided. You can accomplish the same thing with one fluid ounce of polystyrene resin in the crankcase; it completely breaks down the oil and destroys any lubrication qualities...you would be better off with pure water in there....

Most constructive response from you! I’m sure we were all edified by it, however, I understood the point and wish you did.
The fact is that we will pay $2,000 for black box “safety” or monitoring boxes in the new cars, more govt. intervention.

Most reporters - and writers - can't do math or science.

Sounds like the Auto Maintenance version of Obamacare.

Death with Dignity and all that...

The truck I was planning to trade in wouldn’t need any sodium silicon to kill it. A gentle incline would do it.
