San Jose, CA:  Here is a guy who watched the movie Heavy Metal too often.  A 20 year old man broke into a small airport near San Jose, and filled his car up with aviation fuel because he thought it would make the vehicle fly and take him to some awesome, rocking worlds.  Instead, he just ended up in jail for theft and driving drunk.

Just proves alcohol and aviation fuel do not mix.
