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.

Yeah, but there's always the downside of it tasting like ***...

See, I think just the opposite: Diet soda and Mountain Dew = [:'(]. Funny what that California air will do to you after a while...
