CD's Green Car!

You have all without a doubt seen CD's critique of my 85hp Perkins and RV dream home as being incompatible with responsible eco-citizenship. I note that MR. GORE's electric bills announced yesterday went up by 10% over last year...AFTER he installed passive solar and other energy saving equipment!! He used this year...the equivilent of 234 averages homes for a month!!
Talk about do as I say...not as I do!! WELL....you will be pleased to know that your (justifiably) modest moderator-Dad has been walking the walk and driving the drive and setting a good example for us all in his choice of vehicles. I am told that this is the first sheep powered green-mobile. The way it works is that the sheep eat the grass and then enter a "collection" depot where CD pipes in the resultant methane by-products (Don't ASK...Don't TELL!)... into the "car" where it provides clean burning fuel (if not clean smelling). Keeping the car looking good is also eco-friendly as a few shovels of additional collection depot byproducts and a little natural free-range rainfall is all that is needed. What if he runs out of gas? Not to worry...CD keeps a "kid" in the trunk!

I am also told that BWalker has expressed some interest in a variation of this concept!
