I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

[Reign in Acai]

...this car has no steering wheel. No brake or gas pedals, either. Just a button for "Go" and a button for "Stop," plus a little display to show you where you're going. (I'd hazard a guess that the screen would be happy to provide some targeted advertising along the way, too.) This, then, truly is a car for people who hate to drive. Full stop.

Have we grown so fat and lazy that such thoughts have been tendered? Though not too bad of an idea for those hailing from the Orient.


Fucking nerds.

China Radio International reports that this gentleman, a farmer from Hunan province, has spent the last ten years of his life developing a suitcase that also serves as a motorized personal transportation vehicle. It goes up to 12.5mph.

Do you still have your Volvo? If not, you should buy that V60 to fill the Volvoid and then listen to some Voivod right away.

Goddam it. I somehow missed the above post from NAD. Ok, so volvo saw that ad and hired the guy to do one for their V60. Both are hilarious.

Fancy turning crank
