And, as a slip-and-fall lawyer, you'd rather people drive around in mini
cars so when they got squashed by full sized cars or SUVs you'll have
lots of clients hiring you to sue for bodily injury and pain and
suffering. And when they get a million-dollar settlement you grab 90% of
it and laugh all the way to the bank while they struggle along on 10%.

I just don't know how lawyers can live with themselves.

And you clearly haven't even the hint of a clue as to what I do.



You claim to be a lawyer. As a lawyer what you do is make way, way more
money than you're worth. Notice I said "make" money. I didn't say "earn"
money.

But, I don't believe for a minute you're really a lawyer. What lawyer
hangs out on Usenet eight hours a day? BUSTED! Just take a look around
you. Check out the company you keep.

1) Pudgy stay-at-home dads
2) McDonald's fry cooks
3) Phil Hendrie characters
4) Hillbilly truck drivers
5) Oz rejects
6) Trawler trash
7) PDQ trawler trash
8) Mac26X morons
9) 50GT druggies
10) Misogynistic barts
11) Broken down transPac wannabes
12) Lambchops who live in caves
13) Anal displaced Irishmen
14) Blind men
15) Blind women
16) Maxipad wearers
17) Depends wearers

.......wannabe sailors all except for the chronic pretenders.

Proud of yourself? Bwahahahahahhahahahahahahah!

Which one are you? I'm thinking #'s 10,14,16, and 17.

Yep. And now I'm hearing all this crying about the poor U.S. auto
mfgs from different sources.
I saw 3 ads on TV yesterday by these jokers, in succession.
1. Chrysler - a big minivan gas hog.
2. Ford - a huge honking crew cab PU gas hog.
3. GM - a Caddie Escalade gas hog.
Now maybe that marketing was a coincidence or a product of the
cable channel(s) I was watching (CNN, Fox or MSNBC - can't remember).
But it doesn't matter. Keep marketing gas guzzlers and you will die
or become further marginalized by the Asian automakers.

Look closely at the lobby success Detroit has had keeping fuel efficient
cars like the Smart Car and other tiny European and Asian developments
out of the country, with the help of their "safety politicians".

I've always wondered why I can buy this:
http://tinyurl.com/3777vp
Which is American made, has absolutely no safety equipment,
whatsoever...but, I'm not allowed to buy this:
http://tinyurl.com/2b7f9u
which HAS plenty of safety equipment so the passengers survive this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6t-yyoU8s
Here they crashed one into a new Mercedes S-class. It bounced off and
everyone survived.
Do you think the American on the one I can buy will survive this crash
test? I doubt it. It's used as a flimsy excuse to keep fuel efficient
cars that hurt my oil company President, GW, in his pocket book.

Of course, not all Smart Cars are as fast as these with the 500HP Suzuki
Hayabusa motorcycle engine in them....(c;

Here's a Diablo Smart wiping a million dollar Ferrari's nose in a drag
race....too funny:

We're just now getting ONLY the most inefficiently powered Smart Cars
into America. It's been years of waiting....

Very timely, Larry.
Would you put your money or Ford/GM or UAG?

Had one myself Might see a repeat with another Kraut car.

Should be interesting anyway.

And no sulphur needing bacteria to agglomerate?

So we're gonna grow Canola for fuel! Until it becomes bilegual.

Has anyone here converted your boats engine over to burn bio-fuels?

The smell of french fry, or duncan doughnuts exhaust fumes sure would
be nicer than diesel.

Here in Houston we have a dealer than will deliver and it's cheaper
than Diesel fuel.

Gosh, so many replies, none that answered the question, actually.

Commercial biodiesel is considerably different than the home-brews from
used oils. Ask the dealer for the supplier's website so you can see
what you're getting: Superior cetane and lubrication, much fewer
particulates, essentially zero pollution.

We have a 2GM20F, about 15 years old, that we regularly run at up to
60% Bio. Motor runs smoother, starts easier, and definitely smells a
heck of a lot better.

Haven't found a down-side, no bug/dirt problems or the such, but I try
to be mostly petro when we haul in the winter, as there were some
reports a few years ago that bio didn't like to spend the winter
sitting.

I'd snap that fuel up in a second, AND check to see if my engine
manufacturer had found any problem with running 100% in your climate.
If I remember correctly, a boat with standard engines (I believe diesel
outboards) went around the world on 100% bio as a publicity stunt.

You obviously haven't a clue as to what buyers want in their cars.

There are 2 chinese restaurants close to the marina here, wonder how
the cooking oil would mix with the diesel I have now (bought in the
Maquesas) that was polluted with used crankcase oil? Maybe thin it
out and make it run better?

where do you get the bio?

A local fuel supplier that I found in a search. I don't have their info
with me, and it wouldn't do any good unless you're in the Philly area,
anyway. (I have it at work, though.)

Among other things, they supply bio to construction sites. Expect
there's a charge for that, but I can show up and they'll fill my
container.

About a decade ago, there was a bio pump at the dock at Kent Narrows.
Unluckily, I learned about it the season after they shut it down. For a
while, I could get 1 and 5-gallon jugs of it at a few docks, but that
dried up.

I intend to ask for availability as I cruise around. Perhaps they'll
get the hint.

I had a string of VWs. 3 bugs, 411 wagon, 2 Kombi campers, one bus...all
great vehicles, but way too much maintenance on the air cooled pancake
engines. All that valve adjusting was way too much.
