Some bloke in the UK has developed a coffee powered car. (Well, really a truck) And to think someone around 1890 wanted to close the patent office because everything had been invented! I wonder if it smells like a coffee bean roaster when it goes by?

Hmmmmm...just wonderin' here, but would a two-wheeled version of this be considered the only TRUE "Café Racer" in the world???
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

The heck with that! What with coffee at close to $15 per pound, gasoline is much less expensive.

That would go well with the rigs that burn used restaurant cooking oil & smell like French fries ("to go")

Do you have Lebanese in your community? Look for a nut roastery which they are crazy for nuts and just maybe they roast coffee as well. I pay just over 1\2 that for good quality beans.
