Re: Looking for a vehicle for a DD - more unique the better!
Ok, not to hijack the thread or anything, but did you look at the picture of the engine in that truck? I don't think I have ever seen anyone wrap the fuel line that runs from the fuel pump to the carb -- including the fuel filter -- in material like that. Common practice? Anyone care to tell me what they think that is? Practical? Effective?

Looks like it has Vapor Lock issues. That's just reflective tape with likely insulation under it.

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/4443075792.htmlI may have misunderstood the original post. Did you say it needed to be easy to park?
