...right, it's just because we all earned our "Eco"-badges while in the Boy Scouts, and well, you know, Boy Scouts are "prepared"!

I saw it at hybrid expo this past weekend. Its a segway with a small diesel engine/generator that burns any type of waste oil. It has moped status and just requires a helment to use in most states and it features an "EV" mode for indoor use.

Thanks, Piwoslaw. I've been fighting a cold and missed a bit. With the imminent news of the"COOLEST HYBRID EVER" , I'll try to hold on until the 23rd(). It's good to know you guys will carry on if I don't make it(small coughing fit)(). Not that I'm whining or anything().

No! You can't be sick, not now! If you're sick in bed, then how will you run out into the street in sheer joy when you find out what the "COOLEST HYBRID EVER" is?
