    Highway runaway is bad enough, but what happens if your Prius takes off in the middle of the night? The risk is just too great. We have moved our Prius to a new garage to minimize the risk. It works well, but the squeaking is keeping us up at night.

    I think the local council might object to the height of this thing.
    Does it come in green?

    A few shots of WD-40 ought to fix that. A gallon should be enough.

    Cute but that will never work. Traction control light will be always on since the "pot holes" are bigger than the tire.
