While everybody is worried about skyrocketing fuel prices but can’t help but compromising, a 62-year-old Kentucky man, Mickey Nilsson, found an alternative. He has invented a car that does not require foreign oil as its fuel source. His car is entirely powered by Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey.
Inspired by the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, in which the Dick Van Dyke character re-purposed junk, Nilsson also used his fair share of junk and made this car. It all actually started when he was offered $200 for his old junk. People used to come to his door and ask him to sell that stuff to them. “That left me pondering,” Nilsson said.
After that, Nilsson spent 6 months in his workshop and turned his one-time still and collection of junk into a motor vehicle that can run on whiskey. “The car will run on almost any bourbon, but she really purrs on Maker’s Mark,” said Nilsson.
A whiskey-sipping car! Not a bad idea. But that is also a pricier fuel option, right? Maker’s Mark is currently sold at an average price of $24. But if you compare it with the gasoline price, it is just increasing every year – last year it jumped 50% high.
It was heard that automobile giant Nissan is coming up with a deal to release the commercial version of this car by 2014. It will probably be called as Nissan Nilsson – wow!
