here you go, one for your daughter and one for.........your friend

A neighbor that's turning 50 is ordering this car:

The weinermobile might be more subtle.

I don't like the idea of cars with automatic brakes or that can park themselves. I like to be in complete operational control of the car.

Same here. Although, I pass about 10-15 cars every day that I wish would have a computer drive them instead of what I get to deal with.

If I understand your context, I fully support replacing women drivers with computers, too.

Take it to the cave, Wesbot. It doesn't belong here.

Elderly people can stop using bacon grease or hamburger grease for flavoring any day now. For example, I know someone that used bacon grease and dumped it in with scrambled eggs they were making. WTF? Got this hamburger grease, so let's not strain it out and just add the spaghetti sauce in with it and the meat.

I think you need a timeout, son.

I can't wait for driverless cars cause then I could nap all the time and take roadtrips more. Cause we could just drive overnight and skip hotels.

I laughed, but only because my wife is not around to punch an enormous whole in your theory by comparing our driving records.

I would generally agree but this weekend I heard this from my daughter when I was parking in a ramp - "Last time we were in a ramp with mom she bumped the car next to ours."

Could kill the plane industry some. Get a car to drive from 10 ok to 8 am and get 700 Miles down the road. Save a chunk of money also.

Better get a bigger gas tank...

They going to be self fueling as well then? Or is everyone getting Teslas?

An Uber's driverless car got into a wreck. Would that make you fill your pants watching it happen and you knowing you can't do anything.

If I heard the story correctly this morning, it was an actual driver in a car who failed to yield to the driverless car. Still nothing the passenger could do about it.

I will freely admit I am a horrible parallel parker. We went to the library last week and my only option that was close was a spot I needed to parallel park. I did such a good job that I almost took a picture to text hubby. When I told him about it, his response was "I think the bar is set pretty low:no damage = success!" Great vote of confidence, dear.

I've had/have vehicles that I could push 600, so it wouldn't take much.

Ain't ever buying a squirrel powered car.

I could support this. Also, Mrs. JCyclonee and I could get it on in the backseat. Sure, we never would, but theoretically, we could.

Because using ethanol blend keeps the corn prices up?

Nah, I prefer cars that don't take 10 miles to get up to 40.

Now I think about no hotels, would need to install showers in the car. Basically everyone would be driving Winnebagos.

I imagine they and industries like hotels may be less than big fans of the idea. If time isn't a big issue, I'd rather go in a car and stop when I want and lay my seat allllllllllll the way back than take a plane.
