in-car coffee maker

For those days when you just don't even have the time to stop at the Tim Horton's drive through: A water reservoir under the right front fender (for safe road-side refilling) would feed water to the boiler that is attached to the exhaust manifold. The boiling water would then be piped though insulated tubing to the drip filter under the dashboard. A centrally located drawer panel will pull out to allow the the driver or the passenger to change coffee grounds and filters. The coffee then drips into the cup already in the coffee cup holder. Of course, the possibility of having the coffee piped a spigot in the back seat is also an option.

Cold drinks could supplied in a similar manner, taking advantage of the volatility of gasoline to provide the heat transfer required for cooling: Before entering the fuel distribution system of the car's engine, the gasoline would pass over a series of flat vanes through which the water or other liquid would be pumped. As the gas evaporates, it will cool the liquid. The gasoline fumes would then be condensed and enter the regular fuel distribution system.
