We all know about pollution and global warming etc.

How green would your car be if made entirely of vegetables?

It would run on vegetable oil, of course, nothing shocking there, but think of the optional extras...

comfrey seats, parsley shelf, sunflower roof, seedy player, driver and passenger pear-bags, arti-choke, and a dandelion clock so you can tell the thyme.

Undoubtedly talented marketing people could think of many many more...

       It wouldnt have a very long life tho. After a few months all youd have would be a pile of compost.

       Or if not a lemon, it could grow on you after a while.

       Henry Ford supposedly built a car from hemp fiber, but I cannot find a link for it without hundreds of pop-ups lobbying for/against legalization of hemp.   

       Any vegetables that can be used as cylinder lining?

       Hemp is legal. Growing it without a license is not.
