I liked the jet-powered beer cooler better.

Not sure anyone will ever beat a V8 powered blender…

but will it blend? sorry, it was pretty obvious…

Watch Top Gear, an episode or two back they showed off a gas powered blender. Well engine powered (V8).

Why not gas powered pencil sharpeners or gas powered can openers?

Because that is just silly.

In Florida we use these when we take the boats out to an island to make margaritas. :)

Gas? Oh wait, gas is means petrol :).
(honestly confused dutchie)

Cheap gas was 11+ years ago. Those days are over.

I filled up for $1.589 a gallon last week. Take that and shove it through your favorite inflation calculator.

Keep in mind that 1) Gas probably had 5% more energy value in it back then without the crappy ethanol-farm-program-price-support-scheme. 2) Your Federal fsck-ups in Congress have been cooking the books on the real rate of inflation for years.

Gas is probably cheaper nowadays than it’s ever been.

erm, that doesn’t include 2008. so that graphic doesn’t prove my point. never mind. but as of today, the average usa price of gas is approx. 167 cents per gallon, which is almost the lowest there would be on that chart (adjusted prices).

Here is the V8 powered blender that was on top gear!

apsolute genius!

Howdy all,
I’m the one that built this thing. It was just a dumb project to use up shop junk. I had a weedeater with a broken gear head, the parts to fix it was more than it was worth (and I wanted a 4-stroke).
I also had a run down Dewalt 9 volt drill. The next thing Ya know, I had the idea to make it electric start. I have about $25 total in it for the Harley oil tank bung for the fuel tank.
