Hey! Biodiesel rocks! I've already been researching it alot because I want my next car to be a cool-as-hell tricked out VW Jetta that also happens to run on SVO (straight vegetable oil) or at least biodiesel. There are alot of conversion kits out there and some companies have certified garages where you can get them installed professionally (which is what I would probably do as I have little to no working knowledge of cars). And naturally, tricking it out would require a sweet sound system inside but thats just my personal preference. It would also be fun to stick a small PC in there and connect it to one of those sweet (and suprisingly inexpensive) Alpine DVD player/LCD screens - I know Jeff at least has noticed those rediculously small box PCs that are only a little bigger than a gamecube (I saw them on newegg, I dont know where we could find them at the moment) - and then I could have a wireless keyboard/mouse dealie and keep them in the glovebox. Its an idea that I've been working on...heh heh. But back to biodiesel, its much better for the environment though if you use SVO it can make your car smell like french fries, because its the same grease that they are fried in - in fact, you can get free grease from restaurants that have deep fryers because they have to pay to have it shipped away (theoretically, you could just talk to the restaurant owner and he would pay you some lower amount than he is paying at the time, and you could actually make money off of getting free gas). The only drawback is that you have to then filter it yourself, though apparently the process isn't that difficult.
Anyways, I just found it interesting that you posted about something I already find very interesting and have researched, Jeff. Uhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah - I'll talk to y'all lata then.
