Thumbs up Myth busted!

Did anyone watch 'mythbusters' last night? They tried to blow up an SDL with sound. 160db at 16Hz from a homemade, 'driveshaft-powered' 51"-'speaker' didn't do it!

Sad, though, the car didn't seem to be in too bad shape before they took it apart.

Should have used a kia. It would have come apart.

It was an SD, the engine was a 617. I think it was the same car they used in the "fuel conspiracy" episode where they ran filtered, unheated WVO in it. They must have purged the fuel system with diesel after doing it because it ran another day Jamie seems to be really enthusiastic about diesel engines in that episode too. I wonder if he's a dieselhead
