I talked to two of the three drivers at the last Milwaukee Hybrid Group Meeting.

The best little side story I heard about was that the charger for the iPhone they were using for updating their location caught fire.

Apparently, the driver just said "The Car's on fire. Take care of it!" to the passenger, who was sleeping right then.

Now that's focus on the road.

The same guy took my Electro-Metro for a spin around the block after the meeting. Nothing started on fire though.
