Toyota.....the sensitive choice

Post by MACMANIAC »

Still stuggling with that horrible poison oak? Worn out from squirming all day at work unable to scratch? Simply grab your soda, run out to the parking lot, drop those clothes and drive on home in your birthday suit. Toyota, where a comfortable ride is more than just a slogan!WARNING:Use only as directed. Manufacturer is not reponsible for embarassing attention from others due to medication smell. Toyota Motor Company will not be responsible for accidents caused by other drivers (mostly male) reacting to naked drivers who merit "hottie scale" rating, arrests for indecent exposure, or in some cases excessive vomiting by on lookers due to complete lack of hottiness on the part of driver. Caution should be used when consuming hot beverages and holding said beverages between ones legs is strongly discouraged. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9439612/

We must never forget... in the final analysis... that it is our military, industrial and economic strength that offers the best guarantee of peace for America in times of danger.” —Ronald Reagan

I certainly don't want medicated seat covers, but this is interestingQuote »Taking that a step further, the wheel, in conjunction with other technology, will also be able to gauge a driver’s temperament and blood pressure, adjusting the color of the headlights on the car to warn others of the driver’s mental state.You see a Toyota coming at you with red hedlights, get out of the way.

Don't date anyone who drives a Toyota, who knows what kind of diseases they have if they bought the car solely to cure their rash.

The headlight colour thing is effin' hilarious!Wife left you? Could be either Sad blue or Happy orange.Just got fired? Angry red.What colour if the driver is just plain stupid?Seriously, though, what if they start putting regulations on attitudes, like you can't start your car, or it ceases to function if you get angry, in an attempt to prevent road rage?Is everyone going to start wearing driving gloves?

I agree with drunkenvibe... (removed)? What if the rash is on your face or chest or feet? Those would make for very awkward driving positions!

Quote »“It’s important for us to continue to push this envelope,”Why yes, it most certainly is dang it! I mean after all, how on earth have people been able to drive billions of miles over the course of a century without these useful, thoughtful, and highly innovative features? By all means, push away on the ol' evnelope! The whole changing headlamp color deal is complete BS... For one, the government wouldn't allow such a thing, as there are strict rules and guidelines by which the auto manufacturers must follow when it comes down to things like lighting. They won't allow (or at least I hope they won't) the equivalent of a couple incandescent friggin' mood rings shining in the eyes of fellow motorists. Look at meeee, I'm happy! My headlights are green! I can't see anything because of the green light they're putting out, but at least I'm letting everyone know I'm happy! Nope, sorry - the light needs to be white.Having diabetics in the family, something to sense blood sugar is interesting. Not sure how necessary it may be, but that is still a rather interesting idea.But they're going entirely in the wrong direction if they want to use some new fancy schmancy technology to enhance sales. How about adding something to the options list for their SUV's that will automagically put makeup on the soccer mom? Or maybe a Starbucks dispenser? THAT's the kind of crap the joneses of suburbia want.

I don't think I'd order that option even if I was diabetic!

Another thing... how's it gonna take your temperature? A rectal thermometer implanted in the seat? If you also had the changing headlight feature, that would cause the high-beams to come on everytime it checked your temp!
