I don't know how many fans of television series there are out there in the car world, but I saw something that I just wanted to know if it is possible or not. We all know how they suspend disbelief just to make an action sequence and get ratings, so I have a question about something I saw.
There is a show called Breaking Bad on AMC and the main character wanted some payback on this loudmouth lawyer he bumped into at the bank. He saw that he pulled up his car, a BMW, if this makes any difference, up to the pumps at a gas station and went in. Walt walked over to the car, with the top down and proceeded to pop the hood and grabbed a squeege with windshield washer fluid on it like you see at all gas stations. He carefully placed it, sponge side down over both contacts on the car battery and walked away. After a few shorts and loud noises, the car engine blew in a big ball of flame. Now, I know from common sense, this would at least fry the electrical system of a car, but can it really blow up someone's engine???? Just curious....
