Greasel


So, for the past month, I've been helping my buddy Drew convert his Ford F-250 Diesel to a straight vegetable oil system. By helping, I mean I've been there mainly for moral support: drinking lots of beer, carrying heavy things, handing him tools, generally giving him shit, and documenting the hell out of this process. Well, two nights ago he made the final connections - and boy did it smell good - like egg rolls.

Drew is readying himself for a west coast trip that will cost him almost no gas money, and will produce almost no pollution. In fact, for his maiden voyage, he has some of the choicest used veggie oil in town. Drew and his beheamoth of a truck are effectively sticking it to the man, while saving the earth, and traveling wherever the hell they want to go...all because Americans love fried food.

Drew, you rock.
