My truck has about 100 lbs of drag at 60 MPH, so the 600 lb pull electromagnet should hold quite well. The drag would actually be less if drafting that close.

Poor man's autopilot - get close, turn on magnet, shut off engine, go to sleep. Just need a unicorn to deal with the truck driver.

MTA: Hey, wait. This could actually work. Does that get me kicked out of the Unicorn Corral?
