deepwater:They said you must place a coin in the duck beak. Very funny. I think the myth is just to make drivers drive carefully when close to ducks-being slow animals. 1 Like |

Yeah, I am tired if being told that having sex in inside the car will knock the car's engine or make it to be extremely faulty. |

quentin06: Guy or lady... A bullet can never make a car explode! I have seen practical demonstrations on myth busters... And that myth is busted! |

quentin06: Bros, u are right, but shooting a bullet through "Car Fuel Tank" may hardly trigger explosion. For a combustion to occur, ther must be enough oxygen. I the car fuel tank, the amount of oxygen available will hardly trigger combustion/explosion from a normal bullet. Only an extra ordinary shot from a powerful gun shot from a far distance can cause explosion. Let me tell you why. On the course of the long distance, there must have bn friction between the bullet and air particles. This friction will ignite the bullet. So now the bullet is coming with fire. Having contact with the fuel will ignite the tank hence explosion. Some ppl shot at not to long distance bullet may not even kw they have bn shot until the start seeing blood coming out of their body, but once a bullet from far distance touches ur body even with lesser penetration u will kw immediately cause it will be very hot. |

GAZZUZZ: Lol. I actually heard this one from my ex. We went on an outing and he had to drop me off at home. Couldn't come in cos I was staying with my cousins and I couldn't go to his house cos it was already late. Things got so steamy in the car and he wanted to make out with me and I won't lie. . . I wanted it too. Buh he said we couldn't do it in the car cos it would knock the engine He just left me all soaked and disappointed. |

HUSTLEOFMAN:I agree with aerodynamic drag thingy but using the AC on some cars increase fuel economy for example Volvo S40 V5 Turbo. According to my neighbor who uses the car. it is true. Read owners manual. |

no 8 until recently. watched a video on YouTube which showed a controlled crash between a small hatchback (smaller than a golf) and a Volvo 940. the dummies in the hatchback came out better than the dummies in the Volvo. it was an Eye-opener. the crumpling on newer cars is actually a design feature to dissipate the energy absorbed during impact while the older cars transmit all that energy to the occupants. we learn everyday. 2 Likes |

Number 4 is where my attention is more because I'm a security personnel. In as much as your total protection from bullets might not be guaranteed, using the car as a buffer is sure a safer decision than staying in the open. Half bread is better than chin-chin. |

Automotive1: They cannot be 'facts' and at the same time 'untrue'. Facts are verifiable truths.. You can call them myths, beliefs, assumptions etc.. |
