    so, today i was driving along in my dino-car and i notice a lovely mercedes ahead of me. it's sporting the diesel label.[​IMG] really sweet little car (i've been keeping my eyes open for a mercedes diesel, it's really high on my wish list right now). anyways, i get a little closer and notice that someone has edited diesel so that it says: bio-diesel! Yeah! i let out a little cheer, it's so nice to see other pple embracing alt. tech. anyways, i was expecting to see some young hippy guy driving, BUT it was a little old lady behind the wheel!!! can you imagine!? anyways, it totally made my day.

    cheers!

    ps, viva biodiesel!

    I've heard the exhaust from bio-diesel has a slightly sweet food-type of smell?
    Is that true do you know?

    Ooh...weird..... :)
    Old age is a great time to put your values into action no matter how radical they may be. Western society ceases expecting too much of you anyway, apart from within families. Let your freakiness fly!

    Yes, from soy products and especially from restaurant oils. In 1900, Rudolf Diesel powered his prototype motor with peanut oil. Google diesel fuels for more info.

    That's such a sweet story!

    And it's true, not many people in the U.S. pay much attention to the older generation. Therefore, as soon as I get up there in age, I'm just gonna go crazy and be as weird as possible without risking being put in an institution

    we have red hat ladies around here. they're so cool, we see them at protests and stuff like that all the time.

    i bet the biodiesel granny was a red hat, now that i think about it.

    :D
