I just purchased an '84 VW Rabbit Diesel. It has a kit from Greasecar.com so it can run on WVO(Waste Vegetable Oil). It gets 50mpg and it can run on used french fry grease or any used vegetable oil. It's quite a change going from daily driving my 7 to this, but I will love it when I start saving some serious $$$ The car has around 16K miles on a rebuilt engine and has lots of other things replaced. The PO gave me 7K worth of receipts at least. It's not the prettiest car, but it should be solid for a long time. I will get some pics of it if it's not raining tomorrow.

 

Vegistable Juice? Does it have a wankle?!

 

whoa free gas right there. you can just go to any local restaurant and do them a favor by getting their old oil! haha

 

Does it smell good running?

 

No, but it IS German.

Yes it does!

 

Here are some pics.

 

awesome!

 

I like it, but if I were the owner of a non-converted rabbit diesel, I'd have a hard time trying to justify spending $1130.00.

+1 for German cars though. As completely weird as they are, they sure are bullet proof. My Audi only let me down once, and it was my fault for leaving the battery connected while I was deployed I hope I never have to figure out why I have an aux water pump, and how much it'll be to replace it...
