They have a 14 cylinder version if the 10 isn't doing it for you, it only burns 1660 gallons of fuel per hour. :)

It's probably a generator for Al Gore's house.

He has a house? I thought he lived in the woods hugging trees. :)

Yes, he has a house. From what I read it sucks massvive amounts of energy and it's not "eco-friendly" or "green" at all. He uses more energy in a month than the average house uses in one year. So I was guessing that monsterous engine was a backup generator for his house.

"In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006"

Did someone leave the hot tub running?
