In January of 2008, Daryl Hannah put her beloved “Badass Biodiesel El Camino” up for sale through her DH Love Life site. A couple weeks later, we learned the car wasn’t selling as hot as she hoped — and so an auction on eBay became the next step. Sometime after that, the car sold — and Hannah revealed that her next green ride would be an all-electric conversion project for the Trans Am she drove in the move Kill Bill.
Speaking Monday at the National Biodiesel Conference, however, it appears that the actress has converted another El Camino to biodiesel — right down to the same decals she had on its predecessor. “My car loves to drink vegetable oil, especially if it’s from waste. I only use sustainably-sourced biodiesel.” Daryl said.
The video below has Daryl giving commentary on her new car — but the audio is pretty harsh, so listen carefully for details.
Of course, biodiesel has its drawbacks. And electricity generation isn’t consequence-free for the environment. The best thing to do is drive cars that have minimal impact on the ecology, so something smaller than a Trans Am or El Camino would make more sense.
But still, Daryl Hannah continues to do good work. She’s pretty awesome. And awesomely pretty. I’m in love.
