[Superman]

FWIW, a mechanic friend once told me a story. They had an old car (Buick, I think) they didn't like, so they drained the oil and ran the car. Drove it around the parking lot, let it idle. It didn't blow up. So they went for a drive. Steep county road. They tried to blow it up, but it held together. Back at the shop they placed a brick under the gas pedal and returned to work. The Buick engine screamed for a while. Eventually, they decided that if this Buick wanted to live that badly, they would stop trying to kill it. They lifted the brick off the gas pedal and the engine let go.
