Science Hypothetical: new features in your car. - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 01-17-2013, 02:41 PM

Which three of the following features would you most like to have in a new car?

Poll is warming up in the driveway and will start soon.

**Rain Man** · 01-17-2013, 03:11 PM

I'm apparently a niche market. My choices were (in order):

x-ray glass - hey, a car is as much about having fun as it is transportation.

morphable design - how cool would it be to change your design from day to day? Let's add some fins today. Tomorrow, gull wing doors.

no fuel - this barely won the third spot. I don't drive much, so it's not a huge deal for me, but I suspect it adds up over time.

I was very tempted by the highly luxurious option, because that probably opens some doors for you when people see you driving it. I think it's underrated in the poll results so far. I was also tempted by the RV option, but I don't do a lot of road trips. The self-healing one would be good in combination with the x-ray glasses, but I think I could still drive safely. The food one is interesting as well, because it's kind of a financial safety net if I ever become homeless.

If you combined the no fuel, no maintenance, and food one, you could just become a hobo living on America's highways. It'd be nice to have the fourth RV option, too, but we only get three.

If your car drives itself can you then have an open container and not get arrested for sitting in the drivers seat drunk? If your answers are yes then this is my new vote(previously no gas)

No fuel required and self-healing/no maintenance required are no-brainers for me..

The third would be far less practical but would help me get the booty- so I'd go with the highly exclusive option. Bitches think I'm rich, I have enough cash saved from never paying for gas, oil changes or random malfunctions to take them out for a night on the town, bring them home, bone them, and NEVER speak to them again.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No Fuel required and Self Healing are the best 2 IMO. My 3rd selection was the 10 minute morphing.

Just realized that if you have the X-ray option, that shit better be able to either drive or fix itself.

Cuz you're diddling yourself.

Tires or GTFO

houstonwhodat · 01-17-2013, 05:47 PM

Weed dispenser.

trndobrd · 01-17-2013, 06:52 PM

Folding into a briefcase would be handy.

The "no fuel" and "no maintenance" options are mutually exclusive as you have them written. I would have picked both had that not been the case.

Ecto-I · 01-17-2013, 07:22 PM

Huh...I thought my choices were no brainers but apparently not.

I mean HELLO!!! A Flying car?!?! You don't even need the traffic light option because you can just fly over everyone. Hell. Yes.

A personal valet? You would never have to worry about parking anywhere again!

And all this without having to pay for fuel.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I wasn't intending for one to disqualify the other, only that one didn't include the other. I see the problem, though.
