Spotted a Hydrogen 7...

... in a residential driveway in Piermont, NY, which by the way is probably about 12 miles from the BMWNA offices in Woodcliff Lake, NJ.

Was it leaking water out the tailpipe?

I think they are doing testing in Rockland/Westchester for hydrogen. GM has its hydrogen trucks out in Westchester. I saw it in Armonk.

GM currently has hydrogen Equinox testing in Mt. Kisco with a car service company that provides service to the airports etc. I believe they have about 5-6 right now and a filling station there and in Armonk. GM has its East Coast regional facility in Somers at Pepsi, so the fleet is maintained there and at a local dealer in Mt. Kisco.

There are talks of a filling station in White Plains. BMW is building a station near the headquarters.

Someone got a spy pic of this "test mule" version of the hydrogen powered German machine going through DOT crash certification testing:

Yes, but I wouldn't go there.

Did you hear about the guy who tried to commit suicide recently in a BMW H7? He went out to the garage, got in the car, left the motor running, and eventually nearly drowned.

I saw one at the BMW Welt in Germany. The extra hood lines make it look so much better.

And in regards to the Hindenburg (sp?) picture, gas is more explosive than hydrogen.
