Leaving LAX

Just left LAX en route to Manchester, NH with a lay over in Atlanta, GA. Irv agreed to buy a ’87 Mercedes diesel station wagon from a doctor in Rolingsford, NH. We are now on our way to pick it up and drive it back to California in 6 days… We’re pretty excited about the road trip. When Irv gets the car back to Ventura, CA his plan is to convert it to a grease burner, straight or waste vegetable oil (SVO or WVO.) Once the car is converted it will run on diesel, biodiesel or vegatable oil.

I look forward to visiting and driving by sites across the Unites States. Inspired by Alton Brown’s show on the Food Network called Feasting on Asphalt, the show documents his 27 day cross country road trip. Along the way he features local roadside foods and restaurants. We only have 6 days, so we’ll have to do a cliffs note version on our trip.
