Had a gutless one of those, with a broken engine mount, once! It
squealed the tires for 30 feet with both feet pushing the brake pedal
through the floor.

I think it was the WD-40 the mechanic used on the engine mounts.

But do NOT use the aerosol spray to displace moisture where arcing may
occur. I learnrd that the "fast" way when I used it to dry out my
distributor cap, and blew it right off when I tried to start the car.

Sounds like you had a thief mechanic trying to produce the need for
work. Don't blame engine mount failure on WD-40, any oil will shorten
the life of a rubber motor mount.
