Someone who knows what they're looking at could do well by this little number.

Wideo ees gone, comrade.

I used to be in charge of an experimental feedstocks program at the (now defunct) largest biodiesel refinery in the US. The primary feedstocks were chicken and beef fats.

My vote goes to Pikes Peak. I drove it in June in a Porsche 944. It was too steep, too terrifying to really push the car, and too high in altitude for what I was driving. Frankly, the safety aspect of it is what saps all the fun out of it. It's a major achievement just because you are driving up a 14,000 foot…

The most insane military vehicle of all time for irony, lunacy, and obvious inefficacy must without a doubt be the French WWII anti-tank Vespa.

There's an old man up the street from me who has been trying to sell his 85 or so Thunderbird for a long time (not internet savvy). He claims it has less than 100 miles and it's lived in a garage under a cover for many years. He was a salt flats racer back in the day and had a lot of fun cars. The two he talks about…

Not a bad thing to be compared to. Karmann Ghias are very pretty cars.

It's a statue, it's a key, it's a flash drive. Horacio thought of everything. If you can't afford a Pagani, check out what Porsche or Tesla has to offer.

Do you think it's much warmer in Stuttgart?

Call me crazy, but I don't want to carry a hotwheels around in my pocket like a 5 year old.

I was thinking along similar lines. I wanted to look through everything else though and make sure my biases weren't coloring things too much. Simple, elegant, get the point across.

No more than a Rometsch or a Wendler. Coachbuilders use parts from a manufacturer, but are classified as their own builds. Fisker originally used a lot of GM (Corvette) parts, but they're still Fiskers.

VW Bus. Specifically the Westfalias. Like the Doctor's ride, they're bigger on the inside.

Inside you'll find a full sized bed, two twin sized beds, a child's cot, a kitchen table that seats four, a sink, a stove, two closets, seating for five. With options it also readily expands to include a 10'X8' tent (larger tents…

As someone who not only worked in the biodiesel industry, but experimental feedstocks specifically, this is all kinds of bunk. If you make biofuels out of corn and soy (which most manufacturers are incentivized to do by ignorant politicians), then the relationship described in the article is absolutely correct. If…

The Ghia all day because parts are readily available and cheap as dirt. I'd take an earlier model for the reasons discussed (and the really early ones are just beautiful), but power issues are very very easily amended for very little outlay. At 1800 pounds or so (for the early ones at least), an easily and…

We're completely trapped up here in Coal Creek Canyon. No way in or out. Flash flood warning "until further notice". Spent last night/this morning building levies and dikes to control water flow around the house and the cars. Roads are washing out EVERYWHERE. More rain forecasted tonight, and the next day, and 30%…

A few weeks back there was a video on here somewhere showing just how easy it is to flip a car when a Camry or something going maybe 25 ended up on its roof by running one side up a guard rail kind of thing. It's pretty easy to imagine something like that happening especially in a top heavy SUV (note, the image is a…

The newest car I've driven since college was a 1974 FJ40 Land Cruiser. My current car is a 1957 Karmann Ghia. I just replaced the wiring harness on the Ghia, and it has single speed, non-parking (they stop where they are when you turn them off) wipers, headlights, turn signals, and an ignition switch. Don't need or…

As a proud former Texan (proud of the "former" part, ashamed and glad to be rid of the 'Texan" part), I think it's a pretty accurate assessment.

Too bad it doesn't work on my car. No low gas indicator light. No gas gauge actually. Also the gas tank is in the trunk up front under the hood. If I'm running low it warns me by sputtering because it's out of gas, then I kick over a little lever on the floor and have an extra gallon to find a station. This is my DD.…
