Because you never know.

I almost always keep a camera in my car. On this night while driving to the gym I came across a structure fire. Luckily, I had a SONY NEX 3 in my trunk! It's a little challenging trying to photograph something like this freehand with the settings I had to use. This camera isn't known for its high ISO performance, so I had to keep the aperture and shutter speed at the bare minimum. This is one of the rare occasions I'd motor drive, because some of the pictures I took had shutter speeds as low as 1/5th with a lens that was far below professional grade.
