Bio-Bug: Car run on human waste is launched

A car that runs on methane gas produced by human waste has been launched and its makers claim drivers cannot tell the difference

But does it have a fart can muffler?

How does the exhaust smell?

 

Okay, I had a post, but it was partially wrong.

The BioGas is most likely filtered methane. Most of the "stink" from human waste are other chemicals (hydrogen sulfides, etc) that are filtered out.

Even if methane by itself "stank," when it burns, it burns like gasoline. By that, I mean they are both Carbon-Hydrogen chains, methane being a much shorter sibling (only 1 Carbon atom with 4 Hydrogen atoms, so not really a "chain" per se). Once burnt, the results are CO, CO2 and H20. Hopefully, the car is set up to recycle any unburnt methane until it's nearly 100% burnt.

 

I saw this news the other day.

 

I thought this was going to be about how the 2011 Jetta was going to be a cheap piece of junk. haha, oops.

 

so do you take a dump in the driver seat and that's how it fills up? might be good for very long trips... non-stop.

 

I just left a VW and thankfully have a Fit now. I expected this thread to be a little bit more realistic for a title of such.

2005 MK4 GTI 1.8T 5 Speed I had. Traded at 44,800 miles, let me list some of the problems in short.

In those miles the headliner replaced twice the adhesive isn't worth a crap, dash panels that weren't even touched the life of the vehicle the rubber coating was coming off, arm rest broken with NO abuse, igntion system problems 2 times, brake problems, brake light sensor went out 3 times, interior rattles galore, starter problems not disengaging and nearly stripping the teeth off the flywheel, I know there were more mechanical problems but I've tried to forget them so I can't think of it right now.

I once was a huge VW enthusiast, I will never recommend a VW to anyone.

 

I've been starting to REALLY hate VW lately.

A couple of years ago, I used to dislike the Jetta, only because a co-worker owned one (I hated his ass too).

But lately, I notice far too often... some flea-brain in a Jetta or Golf driving like a moron.

Seems like the asshat drivers that used to own Mercedes/BMWs and moved to Audis have finally made their push onto VWs.

At this rate, I don't think I'll ever want to own a German car... don't want to be associated with this mofos.
