Prius Pro & Con

A man in Massachusetts recently powered his house using his Prius as a makeshift generator after the mains were knocked out by an ice storm. This almost made me change my mind about the appalling little things until I recalled that during the recent snow storm at Chez Szondy both our cars were stranded miles away and I doubt that a Prius could get up the mountain any better than the Hunmobile.

Besides, an emergency genny costs about 60 times less than what a Prius goes for and you look less of a burke for owning one.

That is clever to use the car to run the house, I just don't see why Toyota can't stuff all that hybrid tech into one of their Solara convertibles.
