upgrading the engine might speed up your car and improve your milage, but oddly break your stereo. you would later solve this by adding seemingly unrelated parts, ie the bolts with the "-a" setting. your car would have different abilities for each different key used to start it. the most important would be the root key which would do everything. if you didn't want your daughter to take the car to a certain persons house, you could simply disallow it in her profile. if you found you were missing a part or had a broken part, any other gm car owner could simply make a copy of their part and put it in your car and everything would work alright. everytime you started the car it would give the choice of what "body type" to use, ranging from gnome (a general commuter configuration) to kde (a larger more suv type) to enlightenment (a more spartin sports model) as well as many others. people who saw that you drove a gm car would assume that you knew how to build or fix any car, oddly, through your constant use you would in time actually learn this skill. the odometer would be replaced by an "uptime" readout. your car would be so good at running you where you need to go that you would set it up it to do things when you weren't even in it, ranging from going to the store to get milk for you on a weekly basis to searching for other life (seti-in-your-car) forms. -- "... and if you drown, die knowing you were headed for the shore." -from farenheight 451 shane http://www.mystic-light.net/personal/ Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 http://dmoz.org cause humans do it better!
