UPDATE: An experiment in recycling and insanity
Update to the previous thread https://www.bikeforums.net/general-cycling-discussion/294523-experiment-recycling-insanity-need-your-help.html
Bought the car, running on vegetable oil, slow but functional
Trunk is almost 100% covered

The first few clippings I did now really suck, I didn't have the technique down yet. I've now got it down and it turns out pretty well. I'm using polyurethane for a sealant and UV protector and its working well so far.
Problem now is Im starting to run out of bike pictures!

I am looking at all the pictures you shellaced on your vehicle, trying to think which companies made what ads. I recognize the Townie, and that 36" bike from off the top of my head.
All you need is a Fat Tire Amber Ale label.

Did you get a bio diesel thingamajig to clean clean the grease before putting it in your car? Different veggie oils (corn, sunflower, canola, etc.) have different weights and if mixed together, need to be heated so they fuse together to make them consistent.

The old non-turbo mercedes diesels are always slow. They're heavy tanks.

Biodiesel and straight vegetable oil are not the same also, both derived from vegetable oil but biodiesel uses a chemical catalyst to change its viscosity while running straight vegetable oil uses heat.

I consider it an exercise in patience 
I think all motorists need to be confined to sit behind a 240D to learn to slow down and theres no need to gun it to that next intersection
