    Unfortunately the government would have to organize it.

    Put the silica solution in a field of cars, buckle up, and let 'em rip. I like it.

    Slant six-powered Mopars would rule.

    We got a case of the crap you pour into the crank to seize the engine. Lovely stuff.

    The sodium silicate used is the same stuff that you dump into the coolant to "fix" leaking head gaskets. Once exposed to temps of around 210F, water molecules are driven from the solution creating a glass like compound that melts above 1500F. You can imagine what that does to the crank ...

    North America got Slant Six pickups until 1987 (Cars until 1983, marine versions until 1991). BTW, production continued in Mexico until around 2003 or so.

    I saw a "Southern" market 2 door slant six 2000 ish Dodge Ramcharger type vehicle in Mexia, Texas a while back. It was kind of neat, it had a 95^ Ram nose and a boxy HACKED looking rear clip with the scariest side facing rear seats I have ever seen. Mexican tags and all.
