Giving the Saudis the Finger...Slowly

My future father-in-law is a serious car guy and an expert on alternative-energy solutions. And most importantly, since his retirement, he's had a lot of time on his hands. His latest creation, in conjuction with his colleague Joel, is now up for sale on Ebay (if link doesn't work, search in Ebay for 'Metro Diesel').

It's a Geo Metro that runs on a Chinese-built Changfa motor.

This car isn't exactly suitable for regular city driving, but it does run for about 4 hours on a gallon of fuel (going about 45MPH on flat ground; hills, not so good). The car is located in the Portland area, and sorry, they won't provide shipping. The highest bid as of 10PM Sunday night is $102.50, and the auction ends on 12/5.
