We plan on putting a trailer on the prius this way we can scrap saving fuel and not get the inside of the car smelly. IDK if we can scrap plastic here but it probably is worth it to save it then take it somewhere they do? Since we don't have any buyers here that can only mean that you will get more than your fair share giving you more the reason to save it. And who knows maybe somebody will start buying it WHAT AM I SAYING I NEED TO START BUYING IT !
 

Not any better up here in kansas dropped to 0.7 a few weeks ago. Still holding onto mine waiting for the price to go up and my trailer to fill. Starting to sag pretty good in the back
