I have been there a few times. You can do this with any car(in the past) but if you want to engine brake down a large grade it better be fuel injected. Engine braking with a carburetor is gonna blow your exhaust up as soon as you turn the ignition on. Also engine braking will retain your power brakes whether they are vacuum or hydraulic.

Most new cars are so faggoty you can't even do any of this.

I've rolled into gas stations before after running out of gas. Pretty awesome feeling of relief. This was all moreso when I was younger and broke, only buying gas as needed.

Growing up in a very rural farming community, we had all been driving tractors since we were at least 8 years old, so around 14 years of age, we all would have at least 1 car. My friend had an old VW, he cut the fenders off it and called it a "baja", LOL. The fuel tank is behind the dash, in the front of the car. His fuel gauge was broke, so while out 4 wheeling at the local rock quarry, he would speed up to around 20mph, we would stay very quite, and right before rolling to a stop he would slam on the brakes. By being very very quite, we could hear the fuel sloshing in the gas tank. That is how we knew if we had much gas left.
