This is an oldie, but arguably, a goodie. It was posted years ago on an Audie forum and I think we had a look at it here as well. I thought there was another similar hoax on a Subaru or Honda site, can't remember.

The most humerous thing is the posts made by folks from other forums (received the link like we did) who can't gather that its a joke.

I think I heard this a few years back, but it was BB's. Oh yeah, and the guy that armor-all'd the entire tire, including the tread, on his IS300 ;)

I've got a few junkers behind the shop, ready to go to the boneyard. I should try this (and tape it) for shits and giggles. It actually sounds like fun!

And no, I don't mean for performance, I just mean it sounds like fun to dump 25lbs of sand into a running engine. Hell, a 50lb bag is $3.60 at home depot...

Are there actually people out there who do this type of thing for real?!! Anyone heard of any real stories? A friend of mine fried her car on the motorway, she saw the temp needle in the red and thought well its only 3 more miles, how much hotter can it get in that time. About 5 seconds later the head gasket blew resulting in another Citroen at the scrappers.

A friend and I actually did pretty much this in our silly youth to an Oldsmobile.
We put the throttle spring on backwards so as to hold the throttle wide open and poured handfuls of sand and pebbles into the carburetor. All the while giggling like hyenas.
It was just screaming wide open and against the "valve spring rev limiter" and finally began to smoke, A LOT, but would not die. We finally tired of it and drove it to the junkyard trailing so much smoke traffic behind had to stop.
I don't think this helped to improve airflow.
