burned taxi in brooklyn heights

Yesterday I was on the way to get my teeth drilled (I eat a lot of gummy candy, and I’m perfectly happy with this trade-off), and I passed by this burned taxi right by the High St A/C stop in Brooklyn Heights.  The car was still warm and smoking.  I don’t really know why this happened, or what caused it (UPDATE: Brooklyn Eagle has the full story), but it was quite the sight to see.  It’s reasons like this I always carry a camera with me where ever I go.  New York City is a crazy place.

I take this as another justification for never taking cabs. ;)
