"SAVE THE EARTH, IT IS THE ONLY PLANET WITH CHOCOLATE!" Anonymous
I decided to join the Green Revolution, completely. I mean, it does not get any better than this!! Except maybe if Danica Patrick were driving the car. . .(Cavey, the Danica pic is just for you)
CHOCOLATE POWERED RACING CAR REVEALED
A Formula 3 racing car with a top speed of 145mph has been unveiled, which is made of vegetables and powered by chocolate.
The Telegraph, UK, OnLine, Motoring News
The British-built ecoF3 racing car has a steering wheel made from carrots, a bodywork crafted from potatoes and a soya bean seat.

It uses plant oil-based lubricants to grease its moving parts and boasts a biodiesel engine capable of running on chocolate extracts and vegetable oil
The car's bodywork was made by mixing vegetable fibres with resins and it is the first Formula 3 car built from eco-friendly materials.
But the ecoF3 is currently ineligible to compete in next season's championship 
because the engine's unusual fuel means it fails to meet regulations. They are hoping racing chiefs will change the rules so they can compete in championship races next season.
James Meredith, project manager of the WorldFirst team from Warwick University, in Coventry, West Mids, which designed and built the car, said the car breaks new ground.
He added: "It's been very exciting working on the project and important for our 
team to develop a working example of a truly green motor racing car.
"The WorldFirst project expels the myth that performance needs to be compromised when developing the sustainable motor vehicles of the future."
cool can I test drive it? And just think, when it's worn out instead of chopping it up and it rusts in some boneyard, you can chop it up and eat it.
