Go green....get a hybrid

My brother has told me 2 stories in the last week that I found pretty amusing.

The first one was him and a couple of his customers were talking about gas prices. A lady that was there told them about her gas/electric hybrid. It got great gas mileage but the downside.........at stop lights or in stop and go traffic the A/C shuts off. It was ~95 degrees the day she was telling this story to him. I'll take a pass on the electric/hybrid.

Last night we got some flooding in C-bus. His restaurant's parking lot flooded. I mean deep, the roofs of a couple cars was all that was showing. He watched and talked to the owner of an electric car as it was being flooded. I'm not sure why the dumb ass hadn't already moved his car, didn't ask him that. My bro said as the water got up to the windows the windshield wipers came on by themselves then a minute or two later the window rolled down and water gushed into the car then the window rolled back up. I would've loved to have seen that. I bet that was hilarious. He said the owner was taking it pretty good considering the situation.
