    That would drive me nuts.

    GM has a good idea since 90 they had the Heads up display on the Pontiacs I do not know why they don't have that on all models. I drove a Pontiac Grand Prix with it and thought it was nice. You could see radio stations on the front windshield and change channels on the steering wheel. A lot less distracting than a regular stereo. Plus all the other stuff like speed and rpm.

    I like the talking. It's so 80's high tech. I went to autotrader to look for a daytona shelby. I almost bought a daytona back in the 90's but it didn't talk or have a digidash.

    It just reminds me of that scene in 'Im gonna get you suckah' where Kung Fu Joe was fighting the bad guys and left his door open, after repeating 'Door is ajar' abuot 8 times it finally says, "I said close the damn door dickhead"

    That always cracked me up.

    No shit if I was a programmer.... you could put a little Easter egg in the program where once in 50 thousand it would say some shit like that so people would be like "did you hear that?" "I dunno man I'm not sure... open the door and see if it does it again." of course it would not so that it would be like an urban legend no one would believe.

    The Shelby was a bad ass car till the turbo burned out or the engine lost compression or the head warped.

    -or-

    All three.

    Put a sensor in the seat that can tell the drivers weight.

    "one block to nearest kripy kremes....dont worry, just one won't hurt..."

    "hey, when is my turn on top...."

    War dialing I remember thinking "bullshit!" but did not want to ruin it for everyone. Crystal Mountain I think it was.
