Kentucky Man Builds Bourbon Powered Car

Posted by samzenpus on from the drink-to-drive dept.

autospa writes "With fuel prices rising like crazy, a man from Kentucky came up with a solution to high gas prices. 62-year-old Mickey Nilsson, of Bardstown, Kentucky, made a bourbon-powered junk car. He got the idea from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Nilsson said that his inspiration came from a character played by Dick Van Dyke in the classic Disney movie."

    That the driver is also bourbon powered.
    Also, I'm from Kentucky and this does not surprise me at all.

      Why would being from Kentucky surprise you?
