Car powered by chocolate

Get a load of this;
chocolate-powered racecar

Now if they'd use a peanutbutter-based oil, they'd REALLY have something...

I like how the most of the car is made of food. But, an engine can't appreciate chocolate the way I can. I wonder if it is more efficient with 70% or 80% dark chocolate.

Isn't there already a lot of complaining about car fuels "taking food off the table"??? (ethanol)

I'd rather they take the corn off my table than chocolate LOL

This isn't a car for my family. The Wife would always be fighting with the car for chocolate. Not something I want going on when driving.
