I am much more interested in driving a bio-diesel truck than I am in driving the Mercedes at all, but I LOVE your attitude about it!

Besides the truck conversion to bio-diesel, I am also planning an aerocap, and lowering it, probably wheel covers and rear wheel skirts too.

All that's getting pretty fancy though.

I need to get some other things in order first. Improving the Metro seems like the thing that would get me the most improvement the quickest.

Besides that, the group working on the bio-diesel is really ramping up, and I need to get in that while I can.

I just got BIODIESEL: BASICS AND BEYOND by William Kemp from the library and I am plowing through that.
