Boldly Going Where No One Has Gone Before

Well not really, but still pretty freaking sweet. I was at AltWheels last weekend and besides all the very cool hybrids, biofuel, bicycle, and electric cars there was a booth with this little gem.

Star Trek Prius

Yes that is a Toyota Prius made to look like a star trek shuttle craft.

As you approached the vehicle you heard the familiar “ping ping ping” from the original series. There were lights that flashed on the bottom of the craft, and ample decals to make it look more like the real thing.

The wonderful eco-trekker that made this also went so far as to program in touch pad enabled sounds (really just an mp3 cd, but still cool). You could press photon torpedoes, and Whoosh the familiar sound of a photon torpedo would echo throughout the cabin. Take that you Klingon bastards!

Overall a very cool Prius mod. I said to the guy who made it “You must get all the chicks in this thing” and he replied “You bet I do, but they are all trekkers” after a short pause “but thats fine with me” *giant grin on his face*. Makes you wonder if perhaps the geeks will inherit the earth.
