Some of you are no doubt familiar with the technique of cooking food on your car's engine while you drive. Perhaps you've even read Manifold Destiny. A great site called Instructables has a step-by-step guide with plenty of annotated photos showing how to make things like marinated chicken breasts, roasted potatoes, ramen noodles and apples with brown sugar. Mileage ranges and speeds are suggested, as is placement on different parts of the engine. The tutorial was posted by a mechanical engineering student who goes by Trebuchet03. He also adds that the striker plate inside your car door can double as a bottle opener in a pinch.Posts with tag engine
Step-by-step car engine cooking

My fellow blogger at Luxist, Rick posted about the “What Can You Hemi?” contest which dared people to come up with new inventions to use their HEMI V8. As inspiration, Chrysler invented the HEMI-Grille. It's a giant barbecue done up in stainless steel with the alternator and battery of the V8 fueling an electric motor to warm the heating elements. Get this, it cooks up 240 hot dogs in less than three minutes. And it has a gas pedal you can step on for more power. I know it's wrong, but I so want one. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this baby's headed into production anytime soon.
