Frankencar?

This thing better have a regenerative-braking powered mini-fridge. In what has to be one of the weirdest looking things to come out of Canada since our very own Lloyd (j/k Lloyd!), an enterprising Canuck has taken two Priuses, welded them together, and made either what has to be the greenest limo in the world or the most gas-guzzling Prius - depending on how you look at it. However, the Canadian inventor/mad scientist says the car still gets 50mpg even with the added weight. We don't know if that is before or after the limo reaches its 10 seat capacity, but it sure beats the heck out of those hideous Hummer limo monstrosities.

Yes but what about....
all of the people who have a need for a limo and have the simultanious need for access to remote wilderness areas??? This Prius is just not suitable. In fact its small wheels may spin and uproot native vegitation where as the Hummer limo large tires are designed to provide appropriate traction for off road uses.
For all the Hummer enthusiests online here who are contemplating taking their hummer actually off road. LOL visit www.treadlightly.org (sponsored by Warn Winch's which is quite ironic)

ps - thank you for the oppertunity to justify hummer limo's. =-)
