I almost just got run over by a Nissan Leaf!

It was awesome!


OK, not really run over, it was coming up the street after I had already crossed....

The weird thing was that I heard it coming!!! It sounded different enough from everything else that I immediately looked towards it.

The first thing I thought was "That Prius looks odd..."

It was making a very faint, delightful inverter sound.
