My friends mom had a TDI that I drove a couple times. That torquey motor is so fun. It likes to bust the front tires loose. ---

I said something about Dubs? If I did it was in a joking manner, just like I make fun of Honda’s (I owned one), Scions (What I drive all the time), Toyota (Camry motors for life), and pretty much everything else. ---

> [@zwarbyt](#): > > diesels are terrible for the enviroment, are a little noisy and sometime smoke, however they get insane mpg, and generally last a lot longer than gas engines because the heat levels in the engine are much less one of the big reasons they are considered “terrible for the environment” is that we are just about the only civilized modern country in the world that adds sulfur to our fuel. almost all diesel engines out there do not need it. the sulfur creates sulfur dioxide in the emissions. other emissions can drasically be reduced by running biodiesel. i should have my project up and running soon, but the guy i am working with works on the road, therefore we can’t get much done ☹ i am probably moving to MD where i have founs a place you can buy biodiesel that is factory produced and tested. check out this chart regarding emissions ![http://www.wnbiodiesel.com/BioDiesel%20Emmissons1.JPG](http://www.wnbiodiesel.com/BioDiesel%20Emmissons1.JPG) oh and BTW, > **[Fred's TDI Page.
