Today we went to coquitlam to look at an SUV that has the potential to be the legs of our upcoming journey. The car is a Japanese import - a 1990 Toyota Helix Surf. It is a right hand drive, automatic diesel, 4×4 truck that would convert nicely to run on vegetable oil and biodeisel. The wheelchair fits in the back without dismantling it but it’s small enough that I didn’t feel like I was driving a hummer. All we need to do now is get it inspected and find out if it can be aircared.
It is a good time in our lives to find a car now that we have rid ourselves of our dependancy on that sort of quick and dirty transport, except for long journeys. I feel like we will be using the car realistically, and with the conversion kit, we will be running it on garbage - essentially. Justin has even found a mill that we can use to extract the oil from plants such as canola - hah… we’ll see. It feels incredible to be liberating ourselves from our dependance on everything staying as it is to sustain us! Life is so simple and leaves so much time to do what we love - live!
I’m not sure where we are headed exactly, but I am astonished at the speed at which the universe responds when one asserts oneself. Its as though the universe is one big vat of potential energy…
