    moving day.. prius towed along.. pictures enclosed

    steve wanted me to move his girlfriends stuff from sacramento, california to mountain ranch, california. instead of paying uhaul for a round trip, or trying to secure a ride back, we decided to tow the prius 120 miles.

    this adventure got a few stares, and a few finger pointing, especially after driving through all the dirt roads in the mountains.

    no, that is all the dirt that was blown on the car, its not a different car.

    curiously enough with all the people posting here that the only way to steal a prius is to tow it, none of the other prius owners called 9-1-1 on me and i was never pulled over to check to see if we owned the prius, heh

    the first 2 thumbnails were taken after we reached the receieving uhaul location and took it off the trailer

    seeing the size of the actual prius axles where the safety chains were looped around
    further makes me be skeptical of the 'stiffining plate'

    The plate made a noticeable difference on "my" car.

    How long is the Uhaul car trailer that you used? It looks like it was just the right size.
