A Florida junkyard owner who spends his weekends finding new ways to destroy old cars has posted his most bizarre experiment yet. He empties the crankcase of a running Nissan, refills it with four quarts of brown sticky liquid from the Dollar General syrup shelf, and then claims the engine runs better afterwards.
One day after its June 16 publication, the video had racked up 2.2 million views and a comment section that was split between Americans laughing along with the experiment and Canadians making politely furious objections to the claim that the liquid was really “maple syrup.”
