yep but most folks woudl claim it's better to replace the steering wheel with one from Mozilla/Firefox/Opera

And we'd have to upgrade the engine every 6 months

It only had one button, so had to be MAC

I'd buy it then, at least I woudn't have to re-start it every 10 miles

macs are better then PC's IMO, they dont crash, and they are just so funky!
and there is a way to have right click.

My PC has never crashed since i went to Win XP Never ever.
When i had win98 dam thing everyday would crash

Everyone should get one! that can be a rep idea! everyone who wants to can get their own food/drink pic and post it everytime they want to tell someone they have a good post, Karrmans is a Lunchable(never herd of it but anyways) lets all just get our own!

well they are a little kit ofr a lunch (pizza, cracker sandwiches etc) maybe they are not heard of where you live but they are really big in the US.

Yeah but you'd never be able to find the right kind of gas that only it runs on and cry while everyone else gets their gas earlier and for cheaper

Sure I could, good ol Steve Jobs would have enough petrol stations around to keep the iCars on the road. Would we pay a little more for gas? Yeah but we'd have a surper high octane gas for the 300 kph iCars

If Red Hat made a car, it would look really nicely made and sporty from the outside, but once you got inside, all of the buttons would be hidden in cubby holes and you'd need 6 different 4 inch thick manuals just to work out how to get the damn thing off the drive. Then once you have got the hang of driving it, you'd realise that it's just like the other cars, but with a crappy ride quality. Like the iCar it only works on poorly fabricated dust trails and muddy backroads.

It would be the ram raiders choice of car, because for some rather suspicious reason, the Red Hat car would lots of little holes, brackets and grommets around the front for attaching stuff for breaking other peoples cars.

In it's defence, nobody would be able to break into your Red Hat car. It would be amonst the securest cars on the road. It would simply bounce over the pot holes that Microsoftcar falls into. Also, when you put your Red Hat keys on the pub table, all your mates would think you are some kinda of driving god, capable of handling and rebuilding any car in the world, but the sad truth is that you'd never dare give your friends lifts, lest they find out the sorry truth!

Eventually Red Hat Cars would go out of business, because with every car sold, an instruction booklet would come in the glovebox, explaining exactly how to build another car identical to yours. It would also have a map of a place where all the components can be found for free. By the time Red Hat Cars had got the hang of making their cars, a 100 other companys would all be making the same car, but with a different bonnet and steering wheel.

Sounds just like most kit car owners

Microsoft were boasting to GM that if they made cars, they would all do 300mph, 100mpg and cost 60 pence...

...Bob Lutz then turns round and says "Yes, but we wouldn't want them to crash twice a day, would we?"

That is so old, it was old even when in was first posted.
