That was excellent! I mean, it didn't do anything, but it looked really cool!
I am now standing in a mixture of cooling fluid, gasoline, and cola.
Firemen have the coolest toys ever!
Bigger is always better.
This is the point in the show where we say, 'Oh, what else do we have in the van that's flammable?'
My advice is keep your lips away from the spinning things.
Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?
The 'Mythbusters' crew, we monitor the Discovery boards, we look for the new ideas that are being forwarded on those boards, and we keep track of what's going on, we keep updated.

Let's blow some stuff up.
In theory, cars are fairly simple. If they don't start, it's either the fuel system or the electrical system. Teach yourself about the path of each in your engine and tracing it is fairly straightforward. But at the beginning, mastering each new system seems like an unreachable shore. The car is effectively a black box.
After all those years of doing remote detonations, where we just push a button and something explodes, to actually see a nice big fat line of black smoke heading toward something that will blow up is very satisfying.
We cleared all traces of our occupation out of M6 and moved to M7, and it's been quite smooth over there. We chose a place all the way at the end of an industrial park.
We're allowed to explore the world at large on these things; the urban-legend aspect of it is just kind of an excuse.
