    My Prius got buried in almost 3 feet of snow in the great DC blizzard of 2010.

    The snow made it look like an design clay model. The pictures don't show the scale that well, but the height of the snow made it look like an aerodynamic SUV.

    Send some of that stuff over to this coast for the Vancouver Olympics. While the Whistler venue is fine, the Cypress Mountain venue really needs more of it.

    Who needs a wind tunnel and high powered computer software to design an aerodynamic car? Just put the car in a blizzard and the snow will streamline it.

    Looks like Bucky Fuller was ahead of his time. Look at his aerodynamic mini-van, and compare the silhouettes!
