Yeah, I had a 1954 GMC one ton truck. Hail storm with over 1" iceballs.... Only damage to my truck was the aluminum visor. Every vehicle around me looked like golf balls... Lol

Tied down to the deck of the USS Hornet at 17,000 feet below the surface since 1942. Ran when parked?

Those things had like like 6:1 compression...theyll run on it

I would be curious about that. That deep there is very little oxygen down that deep, that is why the paint and decals are still in such nice shape. The Titanic is 2 miles deep, the Hornet is 3.

Actually it goes the other way, my all fuel JD has 6.something to 1 compression and it is pretty picky on fuel. It will start on gas and switch to diesel but it can't start on ethanol.
