Zero to sixty in sixty seconds · Proposed air date:

A discussion of modern diesel technology sends Dr. Dave back to an independent-minded friend and his 1976 Mercedes 300D with an enormous auxiliary fuel tank. Dr. Dave and Evil Steve remember that its range seemed endless, its zero-to-sixty time was roughly sixty seconds and a hard press on the accelerator produced a James Bond-style smoke screen.
