Neil Young, a high-profile proponent of cars powered by alternative fuels, was recently stranded on the highway when his own $1 million biomass-powered hybrid car broke down.

**SNIP**

Young was on his way to an environmentalist festival in Canada, according to the Sierra Sun, driving his custom-made hybrid electric 1959 Lincoln Continental.

He is full of cr@p...so can get one of these as a back up vehicle....

“I heard Neil Young sing about her. I heard old Neil put her down. I hope Neil Young will remember, A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow”

I wouldn’t have stopped.

That said. At least he doesn’t drive a Prius

Neil Young had this happen before;

"Well it was back in Blind River back in 1962..."

When the transmission let go in his 1946 Buick Roadmonster Hearse...

"But we missed that shift, on the long decline.
Long may you run."

That's what that song is all about.

Better to burn out than it is to rust (in this case, looks like he got both).

A man needs a mechanic.

I don’t really have a problem with this: if someone wants to convert a ‘59 Lincoln to biofuel, God bless ‘em.

It's all fun and games until they make YOU buy one.

Reality can be a bitch sometimes.

[Zeneta]

[Dogbert41]

Reminds me of "Escape from New York" cars...

[familyop]

Electric cars would be funnier on the Rockies during winter.

[Celtic Conservative]

Good thing there were half a dozen biomass auto service centers in the nearby town. He was back on the road in 2 quick hours after signing autographs and having lunch at the diner.

Oh, wait...

[Palio di Siena]

Think I’ll pack it in and buy a pickup....

[Secret Agent Man]

at least it was HIS OWN money he spent doing it.

[MarMema]

Aww, cannot help but love him anyway. Thanks for all the truly great music!

too excellent at the time and still awesome.
