Stand the car up on the rear bumper for 300 feet 'til the carb hiccups. (Early 2nd gear swat to calm it down was a mixed-result tactic.) Won the popularity contest, though.
Years earlier, humiliated myself by getting distracted & rolled the beams. Basically a rear-wheel stage, sure didn't feel right, starter's expression as he looked in my window is unforgettable. Fixed it but deserved to lose, and did.
