No,but at the engineering college my dad taught at-they had a most interesting activity during the half-time at their football games-they brought out an old car-drained the oil out of its engine-than Revved that motor until---BAM-it gave out.They kept the "time" for it on the scoreboard.Most didn't last more than 30 seconds.

Funny, now that you should mention THIS!
Believe it or not, hard-starting and revving of engines are another of my FAVORITE fetishes, besides washers and dryers! If you are interested in knowing more about online groups into this, which I belong to, contact me. You can be gay OR straight-it doesn't matter to us, unless you nmay be "offended" by some content!

A guy who lives across the street from me does this every morning at about 6:30. I am certainly going to hell for all the times I've wished him death, LOL.
Always noticed
when I was a kid, the way Dad started the car. On any given day, it was about the best way there was to gauge his mood.
After I started driving myself, it didn't take long to figure out that hard revving a cold engine only made it run worse, so I quit doing it, and I couldn't understand why other people did it so much. I just gave it barely enough gas to keep it running smoothly.
Exception: if I was in a rotten mood, nothing made me feel better than flooring it a few times and blowing the roof off the garage. But it was only satisfying to do that to a real car with a V8, back in the days when we took those cars for granted, and didn't realize how that wore out the piston rings and gummed up the carb with excess gas that didn't get properly combusted. I would never mistreat a vintage car that way today.

Carbuerator days
Back in the old days when cars had v8's, that's how people started them. You gave it some gas and most people would rev them way up. On todays cars, just a turn of the key gets it going. I've been around car enthusiasts when I had my old bug. Most of them are nice and some of them, well...

Revving...Agitating...What's not to like?
OK, ok, I was just responding honestly to a question. Please don't think I am a real noisemaker! I personally do NOT treat my car this way. It's just fun to re-live old days when cars were so much more interesting, as were washers and dryers. I personally must put-up with totally inconsiderate neighbors and their visitors, revving-up both noisy OLD vehicles and crotch-rockets at ungodly hours! Watching someone pumping-up and revving an old car is JUST as exciting to me as watching a new Kenmore Oasis "shake, rattle-n-roll" its washload, or my former 1-18 '77 Frigidaire WC agitate with it's cap off spurting suds!

JaySome people like to rev the motor a little before shutting it offand the fuel washes the oil off the cylindar walls. Then they rev it when they start it in the morning and the cylindar walls have no lubrication and the rings wear. They'll never get a couple of hundred thousand miles out of the motor like that.

On the football games-to me in a strange sort of way-was the favorite part!!At the half time-the band played a few minutes-the cheerleaders cheered and got folks excited-THEN-the old "condemmned"car victim was driven slowly around the football feild-then it was parked in front of the scoreboard-then the oil was drained-and then came the moment-the scoreboard set to "0"and the motor REVVED-and I mean REVVED-then--BAM--the motor seized.The scoreboard stopped and showed the "score" as to how long the motor ran.Then a towtruck pulled the victim away to "Jalopy Jungle"The towtruck came from Jalopy Jungle-I then imagine the car was run thru their crusher.These were vehicles that were pretty shot.I had seen a car get cruched in their Harris crusher-quite a sight.A 2 or 3 ton car crushed to the size of a small coffee table!What is it about the sound of a V-8 car motor?Seems like everyone likes to hear it in some sort of way.Probably its the most powerful item you own?Same with the motorcycle motors--some folks like the sounds they make.
