I must be one lucky SOB because I've never blown an engine either.....even after spooling a 44O to 7300 for over 300 passes! Most of my cars have been airborne several times and have spun them out on the beach doing 60+ with the throttle matted.....doing neutral drops were common along with going from drive to reverse floored at 40 mph and going back into drive. Did this kind of crazy crap for many years. The list is long! Some of my friends refused to ride with me even after telling them I would act normal lol

That's crazy you said that, Back in the late 70's I had a 70 340 cuda with a slap stick shifter round knob with button on top. I was getting on the xway full throttle low gear and hit the lever apparently hitting the button and put it right in reverse at full throttle at 6000 rpm. The 340 never slowed down just started smoking the tires in reverse and the car got sucked down to the ground and I smashed my face into the steering wheel (no seat belt) so I couldn't get my foot off the gas so I just pulled the lever back and the car about jumped off the ground and off I went down the xway like nothing ever happened, never hurt a thing except my nose.
