    About as dumb as the people sitting and watching from the top edge of the concrete. Could have just as easily vaulted upwards and run a whole string of them over.

    Back in the 90s, in my high school days, all the kids had Honda Civics. Not me, I had a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis with the 5 liter V8.


    I could do burnouts in that beast even when fully loaded.

    When I was a wee lad and hung around with wretched individuals with weak morals I was in one of the worst holeshots ever. 1964 Chevelle SS with 327 and posi, guy decides to dump the clutch at about 6 grand. Car jumped sideways, spun 90 degrees, went between two houses and ran into the back yard fence.


    Kind of cool but not really the desired result.

    @NovaloadMissesPolar: It was indeed an "experience". When you're 18 almost anything seems like a good idea at the time. Amazing half of us survive.

    @brandegee: Yea, though I hoon through the valley of concrete, I shall not fear, for I am young, and born with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.

    Every time I see a propane powered pickup, I wish there was a grille mounted in the back - that would make this an attractive enough proposition to overlook the added cost.

    Why would I pay ROUSH for the conversion kit when Joe the Plumber could do the job for considerably less? Those tanks aren't that hard to come by, and LPG version of assorted engines dot the landscape wherever there are warehouses - LPG induction systems can be had. Remapping the ECM? Big whoop - my techie 15-yr-old son could probably do it. I sure as hell wouldn't know what he was doing, but he could do it.


    Propane conversion = great. Bending over so ROUSH can screw me out of 8 large = not so great.
