My cousin has a twin to that and runs it on a 50/50 mix of diesel and filtered vegi in the hot summertime with zero mods.

just puts it in the tank, you need to like the smell of french fries when you do it though. :lol:

Parker, just buy it! If the engine is rebuilt he's got $2200 into that alone! My buddy has a newer Jetta and he said a bare block is $500 for it.

I just sent off the head on my 03 ( new timming belt broke after 23k miles)
and i just got an e-mail on the bill, now this is just the head...$1,145.00 :(

there went all the savings on fuel over the last 2 years.

E-mailed me some more pics (looks a little rougher than in the ones I posted) so I'm gonna see if he'll take $2k for it. If so I'll hopefully have it by next week.

To help Pete's thread... :mrgreen:

Thursday the lovely bride goes in for her 41st week check up this past Thursday. She was going to get induced that night but Wednesday night they had 1 C-section, 2 inductions, and 4 separate women go into labor. To say they were full is the least of it. They did a couple tests on her because her blood pressure that morning was 156/92. :shock: It came down to 135/80 a few hours later so they decided to have her induced at 12pm today. Got a call from the nurses in OB at 7am that they were full AGAIN and to call at 5pm to see if they had a bed available.

Wife texts her doctor about the possibility of getting in tonight. The DR was FLOORED they called us and had not consulted her first. Needless to say, they bumped a woman who just wanted to get induced today at 38 weeks to Monday. I guess being borderline pre-eclampsia and 41-42 weeks (depending on which "calendar") trumps someone who was just uncomfortable. :roll:

So depending on what happens, it should be tomorrow that they baby is going to be born.

Prayers are appreciated. And if someone can send a lot of coffee this way... :bom:

A woman from the city was interviewing an old dairy farmer about mad cow disease. She asked if he knew what caused the disease. The farmer replied, "Sure do". He asked the woman if she knew dairy cows only got bred once a year by the bull, and she said, " yes". He then asked if she knew that cows got milked twice a day, and she replied, "Of course". The old farmer then said "Wouldn't you be mad if your tits got played with twice a day, but you only got sex once a year?"
