Might be going green
With fuel that is, not the party. 
Been talking to my boss about this for awhile and he finally decided on running used fry oil in a diesel. He bought an old Mercedes for like $800 last week and is in the process of adding the conversion kit for like $600. It's a good marketing gimmick too for fine dining restaurants. I tried to convince past bosses/chefs of offering composting classes but this one is better IMHO.
I mean ****... I have access to about 4-6 gallons of used fry oil everyday. Problem is I have a WRX holding me back and the fact I know little about reliable diesel cars. Which cars, if any, should I be looking at if I wanted to do something like this? Murdered-out pinto perhaps? Seriously, though... help me out. If you wanted to do this which car would you be shopping for.

Eric, is this through Beach Hut?
If so, you'll probably want to stick with the VW theme.
The Beach Hut down the street from my house has a VW bus and a VW bug w/ a pickup bed all done up in the Beach Hut colors, logos, and theme. You can write it off as a business expense.
