I cannot believe U-Haul let them drive away with that trailer on that car. They normally have an automotive restriction.

I saw a Prius driving approx 100 mph on the highway last week. How's that for being "eco-friendly"

even if the trailer was full of feathers and helium, thats still 1000lbs more than a Prius should tow

I'm surprised it could go that fast. I'm assuming tail wind and downhill?

Yep. It was an instructor. I think he was so slow, he was asked to bring a different vehicle the next day.
