They have also warned they already have a recall in place because the inter-vehicle communication system sometimes malfunctions and it places the virtual middle finger on your own interior LCD rather than the intended target car.theholycow wrote:Nissan is taking it a step further. They're going to use inter-vehicle communication systems to place a virtual middle finger on the other car's interior LCDs. It's more cost-efficient, safer, and will suffer from lower warranty support costs.Rope-Pusher wrote:Honda is rumored to be developing a robot that could open the rear hatch and give the finger to the driver behind you.

Thank you Mr. Cow. For some reason my chime keeps coming back on so I pulled the plug under the seat and now have no chime, and as a bonus, the warning light is off too! I don't need a stupid chime to remind me to use my belt. I always use it.theholycow wrote:In GM and Ford cars, the quick easy way to defeat the seatbelt warning permanently (but reversibly) is to locate the seatbelt warning cable under the seat and unplug it.
Stick shiftin since '77

No chime for my watch and chain
No chime for revolving doors
No chime for the killin' floor

It's the chime of the season
When love runs high
In this chime, give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands
(To take you in the sun to) Promised lands
(To show you every one)
It's the chime of the season for shifting
Watts your name? (Watts your name?)
Hoosier daddy? (Hoosier daddy?)
(He rich) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken (Has he taken)
Any chime (Any chime)
(To show) To show you how you need to shift?
(Let the clutch out slowly) Tell you what
(I really want to know)
