So if I look in the outside mirror because I sense someone coming up at 90, the car will shift to THAT lane, putting me in the line of fire?

Where can I get one?

In driver training school, we are taught to constantly check our rear view mirror and the side mirrors. This would make that suicidal.

I don't remember asking for this feature.

Remember when that only happened when you drove by some pretty young thing in a very short skirt?

Not having AM radio is much worse.

Squirrel!

Hey, Dave, had this thought about an enterprise that might boost your social visibility. How about making up some car air fresheners in the shape of a squirrel (any variety will do). I am referring to that age old auto accessory business (pick one up at any quickie mart) of a green, cardboard pine tree that smells of Pine-sol and you hang it from your review mirror. (They still put review mirrors in cars?) Anyway, the air freshener/squirrel would be treated with pheromones of say a dog with the purpose of repelling squirrels.

Now for the beautiful part - how about a promotion to go with it - with every squirrel air freshener each person gets a 'free' gift (I always thought 'gift' meant free) - a car AM radio. I think we now have a mission - to save the AM radio from going the way of the, well, land-line telephone.

Wouldn't work in Florida. Most people drive with their eyes closed (or so it seems).

In Pennsylvania we change lanes every 4.6 seconds anyway to avoid potholes the size of a dishwasher.

Next...congress to pass legislation banning bikinis.

Baronov GrayMatter, you think you have it bad with dishwasher-sized potholes? In Maine we have potholes the size of a sous-chef.
