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.

The Hybrids are using self immolation to make their point.
Unless, of course, he specifically insured the converted, experimental car against fire damage.
Your post WINS!
It’s better to burn out......
The LincVolt was a terrorist/suicide bomber...
Unless he OWNS the car, in which case he is free do do whatever he wishes with it -- just as you would be if you owned it.
LOL.
Thanx.
I gotta get off my lazy cyber-butt and learn some HTML.
HAHAHAHA!! Hell ya! Couldn’t have happened to a better braindead lefty.....
I thought that was a Simon and Garfunkel song...
;-)
I sorry he lost his stuff. Even though he is a card carrying member of the loony left, he does a lot of charitable work in the Bay Area, for example the Bridge School concerts. I hope that none of the masters for
his albums were lost esp. the first Neil Young with Crazy Horse album with Southern Cross, Cinnamon Girl etc...
Did not say he couldn’t do it. Just said it was basically stupid. I’m sure Neil is thinking the same thing this morning as he wanders around the ashes of his career.
Hahaha...I could never see why people pay good money to listen to this guy or to Bruce Springsteen....
Electricity, diesel fuel, cooking oil, what could go wrong?
“......“Fire” by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown.”
...Whew!...you’re really taking me back with that comment...I haven’t thought about him in decades....I miss the days when music had a wild streak.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
True I guess. I own a 1926 Model T Ford roadster. It's more or less original. Runs and drives. It has survived 84 years without being cut up. I wouldn't dream of doing that. In my eyes I'm preserving it for future generations.
Can’t think of much clever to say using his lyrics.
Just the man is a dolt and what a better way to demonstrate it.
Um, southern cross first appeared on CSN’s Daylight Again in 1982, Cinnamon Girl 1969 on Everybody Knows this is Nowhere (which you correctly id as the first neil young with crazy horse).
