I used to believe that cars were pushed along by the exhaust... And that the engine sucked air in to go in reverse... Then, the more exhaust pipes a car had the faster it went. This thought true cause on the tail pipes that pointed towards the ground, when it was cold, it looked like it pushed the car!
