Heheh, Thanks! But tell your wife and son to ease up! I know the Prius is aerodynamic and sporty and spry, but that doesn't mean they need to be driven like they're on the NASCAR circuit!
It's a small data set, to be sure, but all the Prius I have seen so far have blown my doors off, on the highway or on city streets... and it's not like I'm puttering around at 35 in a 45mph limit zone. I tried to follow one briefly in a 45mph zone and they zoomed up to 50+
mph only to brake hard for the active 25mph school zone 1/4 mile away.

Fantastic find! We bought my Saris rack at a local bike shop and overpaid a little, but we love the bike shop and send as much business their way as we can. Bonus: they're opening a new location within riding distance of our home. Guess that business paid off!
