Saw this at Traders Village in Grand Praire, TX. My guess is it is being producted south of the border. Just slip it over your Toyota Prius and your going green.

Hard to tell the size, but it looks like a body for a go-kart.

If I can guarantee one thing in this life, it's "going green" will never have any influence on major financial decisions for me. Or non-major for that matter.
