I also have a cook book titled Manifold Destiny, which I recieved as a graduation gift in 1989. I have used it many times on many trips around the state. It really helps to have a big block V8 for cooking. Econocars just dont cook cinnamon rolls or hot dogs, the way a big block V8 can. The shape of th V lends to a very nice cradle to put items in. And premade or parcooked items work best. I have an older 50's vehicle. I also have a cook book titled Manifold Destiny, which I recieved as a graduation gift in 1989.

They'd pop the hood and have breakfast in our warehouse. Seemed like such a normal thing to do for some reason.

It is a lot harder today because of cramped engine compartments and heat shields. The radiator doesn't get hot enough.

He'd always bring some noodles and a thermos of water and using the heat provided by the radiator and engine we would have hot ramen noodles while we took turns digging ourselves out of the snow with shovels. Good times. A friend and I used to do something like this during winter whenever we got stuck in the snow.
