    Beat her to the punch. Be the first in your town to own it and yell at her every morning for catharsis before work.

    I had an ND MX-5 and it was gorgeous. But I agree, a lot of the new Mazda's look like duck heads, specifically the grill.

    The MX-5 was one of the few cars i was ever tempted to actually get a drivers license for. Such a fun car, both regarding looks and to drive from what i've heard.

    Oh it was a blast to drive, and I've owned much faster and more expensive cars, and that was my favorite car I've ever owned, or even driven. And the cars I've driven, but not owned is a pretty sizeable list of the most famous sports cars. MX-5 was still my favorite. The only one I still dream about but haven't had the opportunity is the 911 GT2 RS.

    Any car with a window that goes down "let's" you yell profanities. This one does it for you.

    I mean, you could always put something like this on any vehicle.

    Make sure you are heard loud and clear with 100 Watts of power blasting your voice or waking the neighborhood with the built-in selection of popular sirens. If that wasn’t obnoxious enough, hook it up to the built-in auxiliary cord to ensure everyone can hear your favorite Taylor Swift song whether they want to or not!

    Granted, having it pre-installed probably lowers the bar to use, but it's not like it's something fundamentally new.

    My grandpa kept installing these in his car, my dad would have to take it to the garage and have it removed, and eventually he got the garage to tell my grandpa the fuses weren’t compatible or something.

    I don’t know why grandpa wanted a siren, but in his old age it made him very happy lol

    My uncle got an old road maintenance truck, I hooked the spotlight/flashers back up and added a PA. He loves hitting the flashers anywhere he pulls up, hassling people working outside with the PA, and spotlighting deer/drunk kids in the field. Your dad is a monster

    To be fair, my dad was just trying to stop him from getting in trouble with the cops, who largely turned a blind eye to little things that didn’t hurt anyone.

    "Monster" was definitely facetious, hope you're having a nice day friend :)

    This "feature" is absolutely, 100% getting removed via software update.

    And that's probably for the best, if we're being honest.

    Yay marketing! Look this is different because of a gimmick that you could easily have in any car!

    keyboard that lets drivers type

    Holy shit I cannot express how bad of an idea this is. In Victoria (where the reporter is) it's illegal for a driver to read or type messages.

    Well hopefully it's locked when in drive similar to typing in the navigation destination. So you'd preprogram your shit-talk buttons.
