I've heard of people putting loaded baked potatoes in a couple of heavy wraps of aluminum foil and driving several hundred miles before stopping to eat.
I've never done it but wondered if anybody here has done so and how it worked.
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

I've reheated burritos on the intake manifold - it worked ok. The exhaust manifolds are too awkwardly shaped to hold much without falling off on the road, IME. Make sure and place the food somewhere that isn't next to a big oil leak.

Make sure and place the food somewhere that isn't next to a big oil leak. Good points. I thought something like a heavy wire-mesh screen could be formed to fit the manifold and then partially wrapped around the items being cooked.

I had hotdogger on my snowmachine and heated burritos on it too. It was kinda tricky at first on how long to leave 'em in the cooker but after a few experiments an hour seemed about right. The thing eventually cracked and started rattling so it got tossed. My buddy liked tuna fish sandmiches wrapped in tinfoil and always stuck a couple in the trunk behind the seat. After a couple hours of hard riding and bouncing around they turned into tuna ball sandmiches.

I think I'd just stop & build a fire in some Wal Mart parking lot along the way.

I've done canned chili many times. The exhaust manifold on a friends truck was shaped perfectly to hold several cans in place, even on bumpy dirt roads.

Does a Siamese cat count? Had we know it was going to happen, we'd have sprayed a bit of Pam on there. Cleanup a few days later was not that easy......
Now with even more aplomb

I ate some Thanksgiving turkey near Moab, Utah, one year that was cooked on the manifold of a Ford van driven down from Green River, Wyoming, by some friends. It was actually pretty good except that the woman (who was from California) had no clue about how to make decent dressing.

Not on a vehicle, but we cook on our train engines all the time. Lots of different places in an engine you can cook stuff depending on what it is and how well done you want it.

Back when I was a young marine in Spain we cooked some snails on the guard truck manifold and ate them. [video:youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KdKffT5pMRc[/video]

I have also reheated breakfast burritos on the truck engine. We always did that the first morning of our prairie dog shoots. After driving most of the night to reach the dog towns at dawn, we would pop the hood and place the foil wrapped burritos on the engine to heat up while we were shooting. It worked just fine.

I fairly well cooked the back of one hand on the exhaust manifold of a small block Chevrolet.
