    I call BS on this one. We all know that cars "aimed at the young" end up being bought by old people trying to look hip. All of those cars look way too hard to climb into for the real target demographic. #conceptcars

    Once again Audi and Mazda are the only noteworthy examples of clear design direction. While the other manufacturer's run nillywilly with their nonsensical unfocused designs, Audi and Mazda have instantly recognizable elements that hopefully survive to 2030. #conceptcars

    I'm having an irresistable urge to denigrate both the designs and the hare-brained ideas on which they're based. I must be getting old. #conceptcars

    Once you enter your destination into the navi app on your smart phone, you can play against the vehicle to "win" complete control over the system and gain access to increasingly outrageous driving scenarios.

    I love the sound of this. I think it'll be hilarious to see kids being forced to square off against a War Games computer every time they want to go somewhere. Didn't make the high score? The car's taking you to Boise! Wanna go to Starbucks? Fat chance, gotta beat the Parnelli Jones boss at his own game! Why didn't you go to school today, Junior? I was driving there, but I couldn't get the Star Power 4x multiplier at 48,375 points and the car sent me the wrong way down an on-ramp! #conceptcars

    the winning mod to this would be to hook up one of those sensors that you see on pro photographer strobes that let all the big strobes slave to the flash on the camera. when the device detects the flash of the speed camera, black out.

    of course, that would defeat the whole safety purpose of speed cameras, and that would be wrong, so just forget i said anything. #speedcameras

    Don't tell these guys about Hokey-Spokes. They're for bicycles but I'm sure they could be easily modded for cars. You can program all sorts of weird-ass designs and even text. My Coupe Z wheels are all going to say, "PAH!!!" as I roll down the street missing the rear-bumper.

    Wasn't there a story about a guy who wears a Monkey Mask while driving, and got out of 45 moving violations by saying it cant be proven that he was driving when the violations took place?

    Wouldn't that just be cheaper, and less illegal, than this? #speedcameras

    I'll take two. Since Wisconsin is one of a few States that requires front and rear plates. #speedcameras

    Not particularly useful for those looking to block cops from looking up their license plate or blocking traffic cameras. Needs to be automatic. #speedcameras
