Bidding On a Car

Craig calls me today at work to say he's bid on a Mercedes diesel over e-bay. When we got home he was still in a bidding war but ultimately lost by $100. Finding a diesel car has been somewhat harder than I expected. We don't want to purchase a new vehicle because of fears that the conversion will void any warranties plus there is the whole issue with depreciation. We're primarily looking at Volkswagen Jettas and Mercedes with hopes (real long shot) of a Jetta wagon to lug all our camping gear.

Talking About a Greasecar

I've been talking to my honey about obtaining a greasecar - mainly to reduce our expenses but also due to environmental concerns. Although he wasn't too enthusiastic he agreed to speak with the guys from GoodOil when they came to our church's sustainability fair and after their song and dance he became a convert. So now we're searching for a used diesel car to convert into a grease mobile.
