    I've never seen Thunderhill with such blue sky! Does that mean it's not always stinging horizontal rain and 39 degrees there?

    @Murilee Martin: I've never seen Thunderhill with such nice cars! Does that mean it's not always thrown rods and cross-dressing penalties?

    Between this, the Dream Cruise and those tricycles they've been running through non-car areas, it's just a matter of time before someone uses Google Maps to do an updated version of the opening title sequence for "Police Squad!"

    I've been to Kansas quite a few times. And I've spent a lot of time in Arizona, too. But I have never seen a landscape so treeless in my life. Not even Iceland, and that's a pretty treeless place.

    @Ash78: welcome to the home of the LeMONS ARSE-FREEZE-APALOOZA. Oddly enough a couple miles outside the track its a wetland area with all sorts of wildlife preserves. Flocks of birds can be so thick it looks like low hanging clouds or smoke. It's definitely in the butt-crack-of-nowhere in California.

    You need to switch over to the maps.directions tab to get your time to destination. Then you can work out the average speed.

    I'll wait for the Apple car.

    This is much like the OS market. We are driving Vistas and XPs, and there's the Mac OSX on the market. Mac OSX is more stable and all, from what I hear, but damn, is Windows more fun. Toyotas are reliable and all, but damn, are Jaguars more fun.

    It's amazing how much time and energy we spend in this country trying come up with new ideas to try to serve the functions of mass transit while refusing to embrace mass transit itself.

    @theart: Ain't that the truth.

    Maybe it's just that being with another person in your vehicle that is something Americans can't accept? Europe certainly are doing fine in this respect, plenty of people using buses and the Tube.

    They're releasing a version of Jalopnik next.


    It does the commenting for us, and it comes with a bar. Now everybody will be funny.

    Sorry, I had this idea already. It's called "Friend". The "Friend" sits in the front and controls the vehicle. Then you tell the "Friend" exactly where you want to go and they do it. Then, you are free to sit in any free seat in the vehicle and open up your 36 can case of whatever cheap beer you can afford.

    @Z71: I was trying for something similar with the "Girlfriend." Unfortuantly, mine needs an upgrade to properly interface with my car's transmission and clutch pedal.

    @Maymar is (insert recent meme here): Yeah, well don't worry, even "Friend" needs an upgrade every once in awhile. And, I believe that "Girlfriend" only works well with an automatic.
