the good old days

I want a hydrogen car. Badly. If a hydrogen fuel cell car was biologically compatible, I’d have its babies. Words can not express how much I want a hydrogen fuel cell car.

So I was overjoyed to hear that Honda plans to lease 150 FCX Clarity cars this summer.

And I was horribly, horribly crushed at the qualifier

only customers currently residing in the Torrance, Santa Monica and Irvine areas who meet additional qualification criteria will be eligible to take an FCX Clarity home

I know this is because you need a hydrogen refueling station near you or the car can’t be driven, and that 2350 miles is a bit outside the vehicle’s range. But I can’t just call up my husband and say, “Honey, we’re moving to Southern California, despite your cushy professor job at University of South Carolina.” (or maybe I can, since USC also means University of Southern California… hmmm…)

Please, Honda. I would wash it every day. I would tuck it in at night. I would bake it cookies. I would take it to auto shows so it could play with other cars. I would take it to a gasoline station and show it how “olde tyme” cars were fed. Please, please, please build a hydrogen station in Columbia SC and give me an FCX.
