I never liked hybrids...

...but I used to like Neil Young

Fire in Neil Young's memorabilia warehouse started in his bio-diesel/battery powered '59 Lincoln.

Neil Young warehouse blaze started in hybrid 'LincVolt' car - San Jose Mercury News

"The three-alarm blaze that caused $1.1 million in damage to a warehouse filled with rock legend Neil Young's music equipment and memorabilia appears to have started in a one-of-a-kind hybrid car stored at the site, a fire official said Monday.

Flames began in a 1959 Lincoln Continental dubbed LincVolt, which runs on electric batteries and a biodiesel-powered generator, and then spread to the warehouse at 593 Quarry Road in the early morning of Nov. 9, according to Belmont-San Carlos Fire Marshal Jim Palisi and a website devoted to the car.

Young assembled a team of workers in 2008 to convert the 19.5-foot behemoth from gasoline to hybrid power, an effort he chronicled in a four-part film series."

Long may you run... Not!
