i read a huge article (relictantly) for one of my classes a couple years ago about how theyre trying to bring biodiesel to the mainstream but the stigma of diesel being dirty and inefficient and for big trucks that shoot out dirty black clouds is holding it back

Bikes ? You mean like ride them for transportation instead of driving old gas guzzling suvs ? What a novel idea. Anyway, I find it amusing that an old fart like me who's maybe got a few decades of life to live on this here planet is more concerned about such things than some kid who is 50 years younger. BTW, I didn't even own a car until I was 26, and even then it was a Ford Pinto with a 4 cylinder engine and a manual tranny that averaged 25 mpg back when typical cars got less than 15 mpg.

I have a 67 Corvette that gets about 4mpg highway, and a Chevy equinox that gets 24mpg.

You know what the problem was with those old 4 cycles, smog.

TIL that FedEx SmartPost - where your local USPS does the final to-your-door delivery leg - is complete ****.
Amazon shipped me the new Boards of Canada LP over a week ago. Shows as DELIVERED on the tracking as of June 13, but it is nowhere to be found. My mailroom guy (I had it shipped to work) says that our local post office is completely awful and he's not surprised this happened, and that it's happened to him and other staff before. The USPS marked it as delivered even though it wasn't, and now there's no way to track it. Whee!

Also, f' the haters. Congrats for saving up and buying your first car yourself. Not everyone has a mommy and daddy that will buy them a brand new prius/jetta/whateverthe**** is trendy with kids these days. Plus, you'll care for a car you buy yourself much more than one given to you.
I also own a gas guzzling SUV, yes it's bad for the environment, but so is every other car on the road. Unfortunately, not everyone can live car free and not everyone uses their car to drive around the city. I take my truck to the middle of the desert and camp there. It needs to be able to get me in and out of tricky situations where no cell towers are present and the closest sign of civilization is a multiple day walk. Some people actually use their vehicles for their intended purposes.
Anyway, back on track...today I commuted to work and then did a club ride on top of that. I'm pooped. Time for a beer. Also, those honey stinger waffles are delicious!

Older Cherokees are rad and half the people who whine about the environment smoke cigarettes and eat food laced with chemicals.
