I ran across this picture on the CNN.com site of floods in the Atlanta area. The poor Pri never stood a chance.
Who thinks this car will end up being advertised on eBay: Prius, great condition, freshly shampooed carpets and new upholstery, slight sloshing sound when underway, but runs like new...
You know, it strikes me that submarines were hybrids before nuclear power. They ran petroleum-based fuel (diesel) on the surface and to charge the batteries, and ran on electrical power under the surface. Maybe this Prius had seen Das Boot, Run Silent Run Deep and U-571 back-to-back-to-back and was inspired to give it a try.
