We all know that the Toyota Prius is a relatively small car - it is certainly not a van or SUV. Many people have told us that they would like to buy one, but they need a bigger car to haul stuff. In particular, I remember one conversation with someone who wondered where they would put their rocking chair, if it ever had to be moved. I wondered how often they had to pack up and move a rocking chair, but got the bigger point -- "I need a car big enough to move my stuff."
So Tom and I have owned this little Prius for a few years now, and we have found that, in addition to great mileage, it can haul more than you'd think at first inspection. We really tested its capacity this weekend when we arrived at the mall to pick up our new chair (and this one is full-sized, upholstered, not a little wooden chair). We had forgotten to drive our bigger car that does do most of our hauling (cause hey, we're just like you!), and decided to give the Prius a chance to make it into the hauling hall of fame. As you can see from the relatively un-artistic picture above, our baby pulled through for us.
Next, we're going to try moving our rocking chair - just for the heck of it.
