I've been saying that for years
Hahhah think yourselves lucky, here in the UK you insure both at the same time. Want to drive someone else's car? You'd better have ticked that box when you bought insurance for your own car.

I pay about $95 equivalent a month for my 14 year old grandpa mobile.

Anyway, cool project. I love a good diesel engine. I've got plans for a track car powered by 2L Ford Transit diesel engine. According to the tuning websites you can get 250ft/lb and 150hp out of one, and that's before adding a turbo. And because it's a diesel, if you re-map and drive it carefully you'll still get stock MPG too. Sorry, I'm rambling.
