The thing idled til it ran out of gas; they had to refill the tank. Even then it wouldn't quit; folks were getting bored--it ran for hours--and they finally had to put a brick on the gas pedal.

Maybe you can get in on the engine destruction going on at every new-car dealership in the country--some perfectly good engines being deliberately destroyed because some dumbass politicians thought it was a good way to "help the earth" (meaning "help big business".) There may be a few left to destroy...
