Drive a Toyota Mirai while you can–this might be the only time in history to experience the hilarious quirks of a hydrogen car. Including the "dump h2o" button, which causes the car to, um, eject its h2o waste on command. Oh and if you're in San Francisco, take a ride on the free hydrogen powered ferry "Sea Change" (its waste comes out of the drinking fountain).

Another fun quirk: The hydrogen dispenser frosts up pretty fiercely during fueling. There's a station near SFO that I stumbled across where the dispenser was too cold to dare touch.

I wonder if that depends on the pressure of the car? I vaguely recall they sold at two pressures when I looked long ago. Could stepping down from the stored pressure to much lower car pressure cause the icing?

oh, and I remember one other thing. Even though the mirai drivers were getting free fuel (at the beginning), I think H2 was like the equivalent of $17/gallon marked on the pump.

A good friend had one (leased) and loved it ... until lessor broke the lease and said she had to give it back.
