This brings a question to mind... obviously in California if you alter your
engine beyond fairly narrow parameters you run headlong into the
bureaucracy, but I'm not aware of anybody that oversees or approves or even
wants to know about massive modifications to the frame and structure of the
vehicle such as the one in the link. I know the police can elect to give you
a safety inspection on a traffic stop if they claim reasonable cause, but we
don't have regular safety inspections like some other states do. Seems like
there's an enormous potential for danger there that isn't addressed- anybody
know anything about it?

Cya,
Robert

I always thought you could definitely pull some angle of using a vanagon TDI

running biodiesel as some kind of "EcoLimo".. Thing.

A lowered vanagon in all black would be pretty unique.
