I appreciate the time you took to write it up. I do think we would enjoy a beer sometime. Concise is important for me. I lack the time to deal with general ramblings.

I guess that Rav 4 won't make it to 25 years old.

Neighbours rushed to help after hearing a loud bang come from the hybrid car as flames engulfed the front of the house.

That one sounds like the battery burned.... I think we need to be really careful not to blame fires on batteries where they take no part in it.



This is the first time I've ever heard this guy say something that does not seem right to me. Those fires don't look hot enough to involve batteries. I guess its possible they are using lithium batteries that do not go into thermal run-away ( any battery can still burn, its just hte thermal run-away bit that can melt concrete and take out buildings and ships that is a problem).

Well, my dear Homestar! This thread is now over four years old. Did you ever envisage the amount of robust discussion that has taken place?


(Or was it a cunning plan?)
