If youre going.to use my idea, remeber a couple.of things. Needs to have space for seats to recline, has to be raised a little bit for clearance, and it wouldnt have those sexy hips anymore.

Edit: damn, 999 posts. Havent even been here that long.

It would look a lot like the Rally Fighter from Local Motors.

Only with a Lexus V8 instead of a GM V8.

Don't tell anyone, but I have a slight green car-tech fetish. Very slight, like how I like corsets but none of the other BDSM stuff...

Anyways, the basics are an oil source (de-waterered and filtered), an alcohol source (meth or eth, eth is greener) and a catalyst. You end up with biodiesel and glycerine from the reaction. Then I found out that some older diesels can run on straight, unconverted veg oil.

So I am torn between how interesting some of the grassroots tech is developing, and my general hate of diesels.

Is this apocalypse prep, Geekin?

That looks pretty good actually. It almost looks a bit like a beefier FR-S. A V8 might be too much for Scion though haha.

Tell Scion to put it into production immediately. Subura can build it even.
