I've actually heard that story before. When you think about it, As long as the vehicles' wheels are lubed and work well, on flat ground they wold be fairly easy to pull. And it's a fact that hair is extremely strong and actually stretches to prevent breakage. Hey - I'd give it a try!

Wow. She must have lots and lots of hair.

Braided, it would be like a big, thick rope.
