Is there anything that coffeecan't do? Innovator Martin Bacon sought to find out the answer to that question recently by converting an old Ford pickup truck into what he calls the "Coffee Car Mark 2." It runs on coffee beans as opposed to gas—it includes a charcoal stove in the bed of the truck that breaks the beans down into carbon monoxide and hydrogen—and it achieved a top speed of 65mph. That broke the previous Guinness World Record of approximately 60mph and made it the fastest coffee-powered vehicle of all time.

Check out the video above to see how it works. It'll definitely provide you with one more reason to love coffee.
