I believe the link says it all, but in case it doesn’t…
What the fuck makes manufacturers think we want a car that gets emotional on us? It was bad enough when cars started saying shit like “the Door is ajar, the door is ajar…the door is ajar…”, and that was annoying enough to make me want to pull the fucking voice box out if the damned thing.
Now if I ever see one of these things parked anywhere on the street, I think I’ll buy a pie, launch the pie at it, and say “What fucking emotion would you like to express NOW?”
Ugh…and it’s called “The Pod”? That’s another rant all on it’s own…
One of those Pikachu beetles was offered as a sweepstakes prize on cereal boxes recently. Here’s a more detailed description of the Pod’s features, if you even want to know.
Honestly, anyone who needs their car to sense or display emotions must have some serious problems:)

When I saw the thread title, I thought my friend Jeff had finally gotten his idea off the ground.
At the age of 12 loved his mom’s black car but hated how hot it got inside in the summertime. His idea was to use Mood Ring Technology to create a car finish that was black in cooler weather, but turned white when it got above a certain temperature.
Actually, it would be pretty fun to hack into the software for those things, make 'em horny as hell, and then sit back and watch 'em as they tried to go hump every Volkswagen Cabriolet in town.
Now, I admit that the Japanese have come up with some crazy automotive stuff in their day, but this takes the cake. If I ever see one on the road I’ll have to work hard to keep from running it down with my '66 Fleetwood.
Kind of makes me think of the toilet in the episode of the Simpsons where the family goes to Japan; “Thank you! I am honored to accept your waste.”
Once again, the best scientific minds of the Land of the Rising Sun have harnessed their prodigious brainpower to answer a question no one asked.
