Alternative Fuel Truckin'

Thursday March 15, 2007
We recently finished reading Gary Paulsen's novel, The Car, and found ourselves not only inspired by the 14-year-old main character who builds a kit car in his garage

(yes, we've got a kid in our house that would love to do that), but it got us thinkin' about their concept of truckin', which takes the form of two Vietnam vets and the 14yo spontaneously driving across the country and seeing where life leads them. Now while Wayne and Waylon may have done their truckin' with a kit car and a Harley, it got us ponderin' a bit.

We're sittin' here puttin' together some diesel truck photo galleries and the thought strikes--wouldn't it be sweet to take a road trip in one of these--even better when powered by biodiesel. Perhaps some guilt-less truckin'?

Say, if you could pick anyone of these trucks (yes, it's a generous gift from your boss), which diesel would it be? Go ahead and vote. Then think about goin' alt fuel truckin'.
