Nice thing about an external combustion engine is it'll burn whatever flammable stuff you put in it.

Don't know, but Chrysler made a small run (~50 cars) of turbine cars back in the early 60's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Turbine_Car

From that wiki article:
"Mexican president Adolfo López Mateos ran one of the cars on tequila after Chrysler engineers confirmed that it would do so."

Nice! A self-propelled barbecue.
A barbecuing steam car plus a tequila burning turbine could make for a really fun rally.

Many years ago there was a guy in Germany that tried putting steam engines on an airplane. He was determined to fly with steam. But no matter how hard he worked on his steam powered airplane, it just would not get off the ground. After many tries, he finally gave up. He finally decided that steam engines and water weighed too much to be lifted in the air. And everyone knows that the quitters never have their name remembered in history. Except this one person. His name is part of every airplane.
His name?
Baron Maximillian Gross.
And every airplane has its Max Gross Weight limit.....
