Ever heard a car backfire before?

Sounds like a gunshot. It would happen with older cars if there was a problem with the carburetor or distributor.

We used to do this, especially with a manual transmission, going down a grade the driver would turn the key off, then turn it back on and BOOM!!
Was really fun if there were cows or sheep near the road!!
