A few years back I had a 1925 Dodge Brothers roadster. Someone in the past had put all the piston split skirts in the wrong direction.

I was driving to work one day and...KER-BLAM-tinkity-tink-tinkle! One piston disintegrated and it rained small crumbly bits as gravity sucked them into the bowels of the engine.

Too fun.
