Such a travesty what they've done to that beautiful little egg.

This is the second thread about that commercial, but that Yaris is the same color as my 2nd Gen, so I don't mind seeing it again (and having it closer to the most current threads) .

With enough Yarii, I'm sure it can be done! New Guiness record anyone?

I remember trying to tow-start a Space Star (1l/69HP engine...) and almost frying my clutch.
I guess how fast the 747 would be at the time of the clutch's death
BTW, does anyone have an idea how the Prius' CVT would handle such a high-load situation?
