Green Muscle Cars
A friend linked me to this article about a car modder named Johnathan Goodwin and his unique ability to create superpowered hybrid cars. It’s floored me! I am simply amazed by this guy’s achievements. Goodwin is building or has built:
- Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1987 Jeep Wagoneer, converted to biodiesel
- Neil Young’s 1960 Lincoln Continental, converted to electric+biodiesel
- H1 Hummer running on a combination of hydrogen and biodiesel
- A 2005 H3 Hummer JET ENGINE hybrid (!!!)
This stuff is COOL — the kinds of things that car fanatics will really drool over. Goodwin convinced Schwarzenegger, a muscle car guy if ever there was one, to get the biodiesel conversion after one of his biodiesel hybrids that he built on Pimp My Ride beat a Lamborghini in a drag race. Simply amazing proof that (1) going green and being awesome are very compatible, and (2) American entrepreneurship will save us from the dregs of corporatism.
The article is a bit of a long read, but well worth it.
