Prius customization thread. Prepare your vomit emoticons

This is what happens when you're a Mercedes/Woody car fan and your work car is a Prius. Fake Zebrano wood kit. Actually very nice quality backed with 3M adhesive. The kit came with way more than I applied, including a Prius stamped glove box badge that was too ridiculous even for my poor taste. I put it somewhere else, temporarily, for the LULZ.

A bit more to come.

Any chance that we can see a Toyota Prius Country Squire in the near future?

But with the added weight, your fuel mileage will plummet from 105 to about 9.

If for some reason my work car was a Prius, I'd find a way to get a different work car.

Is that 9 mpg, or 9 gallons per mile

Well, this is what I have read:

The wood for the 1986 Chrysler Town & Country Wagons is actually exceedingly rare and hard to find anywhere;

In fact, *SO* rare, that it only grows in one single place in the entire world.


That place, in fact, is a grove of trees just outside the gates to the factory entrance of the Chrysler assembly plant in Detroit, Michigan
