I wish I was a nerd with a diesel German car. In particular, a 5-cylinder Mercedes would be fantastic. They'll run with a thrown rod; as well as a whole bunch of crap thrown into the crankcase:
"So, instead of crushing said car, it was decided to take the car, remove the oil cap, run the engine at WOT, while the other team captains dropped items into the engine. Things that were put into the poor engine included New England Clam Chowder, milk-o-magnesia, fabric softener, Heiniken Beer, a loose bolt, cleanser, and other things. "
