Making fun of my fishing vehicle

Post by **Tombo** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 5:20 pm

I have a Toyota Prius with a hitch to tow my kayak trailer and kayak. I have taken a lot of ribbing all in good fun. Just thought I would post a pic of my dashboard for all that make fun of me.

Nanny nanny poo poo!

Smart! My next vehicle will be a Prius with a hitch too

Less money in gas means more trips fishing

Tombo, you da man! I hate to admit that I just sold my PHX 16, although It was towed on a small trailer for years behind my old PT cruiser. It was just smooth sailing.............cC

This monster pulls that trailer with 2 yaks, all of our fishing gear, AND a livewell full of live reds down the road at 85mph with ease! Surprised me, for sure!

That's too funny. I was happy to 15.7 when pulling my boat to mansfield

Sorry Tombo.....although I respect your future plan for the planet and all, I do have my own plan for conservation and such, which is I'll still buy gas for my guzzling 4wd Z71, go ANYWHERE I may want, and STILL have a pair of SWINGING BALLS.......once some biatch cuts'm off and hangs them on her trophy wall, I'll buy a Prius and buy you a beer.

My trailer is not that heavy, Magneta brand used to have 12" tires now 13" so when I go down the beach it has more of a footprint.
When towing mileage drops from average of 45 down to around 36 mpg. When I say beach, the sand is hard enough for a bike. Other conditions I borrow my brothers 4WD Jeep.
My other vehicle is a 97 Ford F250 diesel. So, you can see I go to extreme ends of the mpg range.

Tombo...no matter what your mileage is, this still is and always will be funny.

See you on Saturday bud!

Its all in good fun. Have to fill my gas tank, its almost empty. Cost me $20 to go 450 miles. I take out a bank loan to fill up my truck.

Dang I miss my F250.

But I sure don't miss my payment and happy with a company provided 4x4 with gas.

Tombo, shouldn't we all be driving Prius or pulling our yaks with a bicycle? What is more fuel efficient on the water than a (non-motorized) yak?

That is the deal when you drive a pedal/paddle craft that is light enough to be towed by anything.

I gotta add in one of my secret goals in life-I ride my bike (bicycle) to work a couple days a week (very short commute). My dream is one day for a Prius to pull up next to me at a stop light while I am on my bicycle. I want to turn, look the Prius driver in the eye and say, "Gas guzzler!" right before the light turns green and I pedal away.

Maybe so, but I would still rather drive the really cool blue and white sports car pictured next to your name! :dance:

And I get 13 mph in my jeep...uphill, downhill, upwind, downwind, 2wd or 4 wd....

Tombo you crack me up. Have a friend in Virginia that has one and we all give him flack. He's originally from Wharton, but we still pick on him . He gets a zillion miles per tank .
