Pipe dreams are under the bed*

This was featured in today's Bring a Trailer:



I saw it and whimpered slightly. Although I'm not overfond of Fords (since every one I've encountered made in the last 30 years has been a PoS), this one is a) the same age I am, and b) a diesel. (Of course, it's already up to $10K+ on eBay, and the reserve hasn't been met. As if.)

For the longest time, I've harbored a fantasy of getting an old diesel vehicle and converting it to biodiesel. Mind you, I was thinking of something more along the lines of a vintage Mercedes-Benz, but this would be great for hauling stuff to Goodwill or home from the hardware store. *le sigh*

You can't say I don't have an active imagination. (Albeit somewhat impractical.)

Gorgeous truck!

And YAY! Bloom County. God, I miss that comic strip!

Ooh, that's a beautiful truck. I'd have to use a stepladder to get into it, but I love that shade of blue.
