Chevy Re-volt
BARKHAMSTED,Conn. -- A hybrid electric Chevrolet Volt believed to have sparked an overnight blaze in a garage in Barkhamsted last week, reignited again on Monday.
The state fire marshal's office is investigating how the electric car parked at a Center Hill Road home caught fire Monday morning.
Last week, homeowners Storm Connors and his wife, Dee, woke up to the sound of a smoke alarm around 4 a.m.
The couple's garage, where they parked their new Chevrolet Volt hybrid, was on fire.
These cars are hot, hot hot!
...On Monday morning, firefighters were called back to the home when the car caught fire again.
Electric cars are soooo popular! This can only help! Not.
On a related note, I was driving up I-5 this afternoon when I came up on a trailer being towed up the highway. It was for an electric car company, whose name I shall not mention, but they were touting these zero emission vehicles as a way to "green your fleet". Which part of their electric fleet do you think was pulling this trailer?

Update: For those of you with memories like mine, they take a little jogging. Another infamous electric car fire cost Neil Young about $850,000
