In the fog-infested city of Eureka, California Matt Ruchong's 'Fat Rat Enterprises' is the place to go when you need a fix for your big, bad vehicle - his ride of choice being the H2 Hummer.

But the new kid in town will rival this reputation. Johnathon Goodwin, famous for taking mean and making it green has arrived in Eureka with his Biodiesel Escalade.

Fresh off a job of supping up Governor Schwarzenegger's H2 Hummer into a biodiesel monster, Johnathon sees little threat in this small town operation. But as the tensions mount, the egos clash and the axles snap - we’ll see if green can rise up to beat mean.
