We stopped for fuel somewhere in Northern Illinois. Photo #2, A bunch of classics.

Having that great whacking pylon sticking out of the roof must result in some
realworld "issues" like:

* Bridges and tunnels

* Road holding in corners and crosswinds

* Killer MPG hit, despite the free electricity

If you put the car in reverse, do the blades turn backwards?

Love the pic.

Is that a wind power option for your Prius? I bet that works better than the "water for gas" systems. Are you able to generate more energy than the Prius uses, even on a calm day?

Now I feel a bit odd. I thought all Prii came with this option. Have I been duped!?
