Car or Bike? Either Way Good for the Environment

Not sure about this salvage special. Is it a hybrid car that's pedal powered or is it a really safe bike with a car shell. Either way you see it, the environment is a winner. As a hybrid it uses very little gas and that's good but the power source will produce a bit of methane every once in awhile. Now as a ultra safe bike this is also good especially on a front end collision or a roll over down the ditch. I can't say anything about getting rear ended, but it is safe to say your you will have a sore touchy for a month but will cut down on the methane emissions for a month as well.

Home Made Trucks - Made in China, Russia and Cuba

Good times are coming and as the bailouts continue it will get harder to get parts as automakers disappear into the abyss. But the good news is that there will be plenty of auto parts, we are just going to have to get more creative about putting it all together. These three home made trucks were made in communist countries (one former but maybe headed back) are the way to go. The parts are cheap and if you need more, anything close enough will do. Just head down to your local salvage yard, they always have parts and there is no waiting three weeks for delivery. They just go out and yank it off an old truck.

5 Hot Animal Hybrids - Salvage Specials Art Cars

Salvage Special Hybrid is the ultimate gas saving vehicle that is powered by a live animal. All you need is just to go down to the local scrap yard and pick your self the body style that says "you". Make sure its totally stripped of unnecessary options like power windows, engine, seats and the 10 CD changer. All you need is four or two good wheels depending on the number of people you will be transporting. Are you single or a family of 8? The power source is most important because now you are dealing with a live animal with personality. The Choices are, Camel, Cow, Horse, Mule or Donkey, pick wisely.

1)Camel:
Good for long distance and rough terrain, but have humps so you have to pick the right body style to fit on top. Some walking required.


2)Cow:
Slow but will get you there, eventually. Good in wet terrain.


3)Horse:
Good speed but cover very short distances. In town use only.


4)Mule:
Good for rough terrain, heavy loads and can cover large distances.



5)Donkey:
Strong and can haul a lot of weight but are stubborn and may take a longer route. You might have to get more than one and may need solar panels to supplement power.
