Original Title: TIL about Shockwave, a semi-truck outfitted with three jet engines capable of producing 36,000 horsepower which allowed the truck to complete the quarter-mile in 6.63 seconds. It consumed fuel at a rate equal to 400 gallons per mile (940 liters per km), even more when using the afterburners.
