Apple executive caught doing 104 mph in his Prius

While Al Gore’s son, Al Gore III, still holds the record for the top speed in a Toyota Prius, the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, is right behind him. We’re sure you remember when Al Gore’s son was caught doing 105 mph last month in Southern California. It got everyone thinking if the Prius could actually go that fast. Well, it can.

LOL! Woz is such a character.

Looks like his only transportation now is on his trusty Segway.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong title.

The WOZ is not an Apple employee in the status quo. Sure, he was the co-founder of Apple but has not been in the employee for almost 20 years now.

Hybrids can go fast (lots of wind drag) and accelerate fast (using up stored battery power) for short periods but can't keep up this type of driving just like a boxer who runs out of steam in the early rounds.

I drove from LA to San Diego in my cousin's prius (don't tell him) doing about 90 the entire way. Gas mileage was horrible. We had to stop 3 times to fill up! Hybrids save gas in stop and go traffic otherwise they have the same if not worse mileage than traditional, comparably sized (4 cylinder engine, compact) cars.

At 90 mph Toyota and Lexus vehicles levitate and soar above all other cars on the highway. All Woz was doing was taking advantage of a little know technological advanatage that will someday allow TOYOLEXUS to rule the universe.
