That'd be a little tough to get coke all up in your drive shaft unless you were like drenching your engine with coke or something. I've actually heard that coke is a good engine degreaser. The only problem is getting rid of all the sugar and other ingredients.

ive heard of using the syrup concentrate as a traction compound. dont know if it works or not, it was brought up by a guy who used to race RC cars.

There's a guy who races his nitro RC cars at the track in my area. They are specially made for drag racing and they actually look like miniature drag cars. I don't think a single car has ever beat him. Those things do 0 - 60 in 2 seconds flat, and can get up to like 90 - 100 mph.

actually (i am a certified cook but i dont practice it... cant stand working over a hot grill) sprite or 7up works better. although coke will do the trick. Of course I was joking about the coke thing. I did mean shifter shaft. But when I was talking about my father fighting the shifter on a cold morning... well that was actually true

thats damn funny. its a perk of drinking diet soda (weight reduction

makes me faster

) theres no sugar, so it doesnt stain your clothes or get sticky if you spill.
