Talking Tailgating problem solution

Hi folks,

If tailgating of your Prius has become a problem, the solution is to get the Coastal Electronics Tech, bolt-on receiver hitch. Instead of carrying bicycles, strap an empty, 5 gal. gasoline can, the brigher the better, to the bike platform. Something about the potential of 5 gal. of gasoline will intimidate the largest "Land Yacht" to 'back off.' For good measure and balance, strap an empty propane tank to the other side. Just make sure your license and lights remain unobstructed.

ps. Putting a small box labeled 'matches' between the two would complete the effect but might be a bit obvious.

pps. Inspired by the blues song, "Oh Lord, Let the governor have a 16 car accident with a gasoline truck struck by a match wagon . . ."
