Planning my escape

Not even back from canada for a day, not having spent more than 24 hours straight in my own town in over 2 weeks. having driven well over 5000 miles in those 2 weeks. i am once again planning my escape
To canada once again, to buy another car.
for some reason the only cheap diesel vehicles avaliable are in canada, hence if i want to make any money on converting diesel vehicles to run on vegetable oil, im going to need said cars.
so with all of this going on im planning yet another trip to canada.
life is funny some times. comes at you quick and dosent let up good times, good times.
you know, some of my friends call me a capatilist. and yes thats true, i do make money, and am a business man at heart. but its an esential part of my life, as i have not been an employee of anyones for over 2, almost 3 years now.

aww thanks yeah although i did like the concept of gipsy, nomad seems to be more apropriate condisering the current state of affairs.
i was running on high for so long i didnt realise how far i had drained myself.
i slept for over 12 hours in rest areas on the way home from canada to chicago... i mean, damn thats alot of sleep to be gettting... in a car.

man you're an inspiration! i'm thinking this is something i can actualy do... and feel good about! there's no shame in making capital, it's how you use it that makes the diffrance IMO...
so what exectly do you do? do you convert the car and then sell it for more money? do you bother fixing anything alse while you're at it or simply sell it "as is" only altered to run on veggie oil?

well, to be honest this is just part of my capatilistic empire, lol!
no i do what i can to fix the car, and make it nicer within reason and then convert it to run on veggie. which runs about ~$750 then i sell it.
im pretty good with cars and mechanics, so i can usually fix alot of things that come broken from the previous owners, but i dont go too far out.
anyone can do it, and the demand is high here in the states.
im not sure how much youre paying for fuel in israel but im willing to bet that its a hell of a lot cheaper than what we are paying in the states, being so close to the supply. and the high fuel prices are whatt is fueling the demand for these vehicles.

yup same thing, New Israeli Shekel/Israeli New Shekel 
so gas is much cheaper in the US? i think it makes sence... you DO have yr own oil fields, and all these recent wars are basically ment to keep the crazy consumtion rolling in the US hummmm..... 
i dunno really... i'm just talking out my ass but maybe it's really the case? BTW i'm pretty sure there are more cars per family in the US then over here so that makes a big diffrence too!!! also american cars are almost the least fuel afficiant
