Location: Denver CO |  We new, this would be the next big thing, a truck run on hot air. Guy Nègre of the United Kingdom has invented a zero-pollution vehicle. It involves no combustion, and it costs roughly $2 to run for 124 miles. It can reach a top speed of 68 mph and can be recharged in two minutes. And most surprisingly, it runs on compressed air. http://mrtruck.net/airtruck.htm

Location: New Mexico | I can't see it pulling much of anything, but it would be great for running around town and non horsey stuff. Then MAYBE I could afford to fill the tank on my truck and start going places again. |

| They are letting us do just good enough to keep us hanging around. Finals are Sat. and they can't be soon enough for me. Go round money isn't much and the rest of it hasn't been pretty. I need to get back to Texas while I still can. |

Location: Georgia | I know what you mean. Nothin like gettin home. Pretty good ride from CA to south TX too. I been lookin over these here used M2's. Sure dont like the price of anything out there. Maybe I could get two of these hot air trucks. One to pull one to push. Heck maybe a spare on top. Like I said I would have a endless supply of fuel...especially in dallas/ft worth rush hour traffic. |

| Those hot air jobs might be the ticket, especially vs. 85 K + for a used M2. Take a look at the Intl., might find a deal on a good used one, and they are a good truck. We will be in San Antonio on the 19th. at the Rose Palace, don't know what kind of number you carry, but they have 4 days of roping, pretty good payout. |

Location: New Mexico | Add a portable air compressor that runs off a battery that is charged by a roof mounted solar pannel and you only have to stop for potty breaks. I might actually like this even though it is small enough to fit in the bed of my truck. I wonder how safe it would be in a wreck. |
