Retiring in Style / Prius MOD

would look more real if you photoshop a hitch between the Prius & that gigantic thing

 

Ha ha ha ha, thats cool, you sure your hatch can handle that weight when it opens?

 

Think of how much energy you'll generate with regenerative braking!!

 

Cute picture, forte.

I've pedalled into many campsites beside such behemoths. We both shake our heads at each other, for very different reasons.

That thing doesn't use a 'hitch' in the sense I think you're indicating. It's a 5th Wheel rig. The Plate is obviously on the roof of the Prius

No, no, it's obviously a glass mount on the hatch...

 

Can't wait to see the Quicktime video that shows a Boeing 747 landing on a major urban Interstate highway, where the nose wheel collapses and lands on a passenger vehicle. Despite the mass and velocity of the 747, the passenger car driver is able to bring things to a safe stop. We will also need to see a screen shot of the state-of-charge of the Prius battery while "towing" the 747. Then we can argue further about what is more efficient, braking or gliding . . . .
