Why don't I take you down to the bookstore to look for more CDs and DVDs?" And I'll have no extra spending money ever again. Ugh. Shame spiral FTL.

]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> I can see his landing a lot of people in trouble. Even if there is no monitoring being done to be sent to insurers, the car could turn into a dime-dropping nuisance, chiming in at inopportune times, telling dates about your frequent visits to the free clinic, or your boss about how you go to Scores at lunch everyday. Damn you talking car!

]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> I'm ok to have a computer in the car, as long as it's not Marvin and also as long as he doesn't tell anyone where I go or the time I take to go from the beginning of the 720 to the 15 interchange.

I'd also like the french voice of my TomTom to tell "St Laurent" adequately, but it seems it's too much to ask.

]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> Every time my wife nags me or tells me to lock the doors I tell her that women are the reason for the death of talking cars from the 70s and 80s. Why do you need a talking car with a woman in a car it would be redundant.

Seriously though those talking Datsuns from the 70s used a special record player to play the voices. Yes a record player that was built into the dash.

]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> @DeCerbo: Why is there a scratch down the side of the car? Did someone key you?

**No. I drove up against a fence. It's the only way to know I feel. It's the only thing that real. Like that dog over there I ran over. It's the most beautiful thing in the world.**

]]> ]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> I don't know if I like that or not. It's bad enough that I can't listen to my Sirius when other people are in the car because they won't be quiet or they think you should talk to them or something, jeesh.

"....•Depressed drivers drive better when their car reacts as if it too is depressed"

My wife is cheating on me, I want to drive into a tree.::sobbing::

**Me too, Michael. Life's not worth living. There's an elm tree 500 feet ahead on the left. Prepare to turn.**

]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> I can imagine this turning into a Vista-ish feel warning you about just about everything. Do you want to run the red light? Do you want to run over the pedestrian in the cross walk? Do you want to double the speed limit?

]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> I've been talking to mechanical equipment for years. I say things like "C'mon you piece of shit! Work!", and add things like a good hard whack (pronounced h-wack). Then the equipment works.

When machines malfunction, they must be punished.

OMG! Ponies!

Q: What does an aggressive person do when told that they are being too aggressive?

]]> <![CDATA[Scientist Studies Cars That Speak and Listen Like KITT]]> Since I drive almost on autopilot most of the time, I suppose a car telling me to WATCH THE FUCKING ROAD, MORON! would actually make sense for me.

On the other hand, I like to listen to recorded lectures or language lessons on longer drives. If the car interrupted the lesson everytime I got to Domo arigato, misuta roboto, I may not consider it such a good idea after all...
