    Cells Phone
    DVD Players
    MP3
    Satelitte Radio
    Cruise Control
    Huge Engines
    Spinners
    Rolling ad's on Taxicabs
    Reclining Seats
    Massive Speaker Systems

    Is there anything else the car manufacturer's are going to put in cars to keep our eyes off the road?

    Hands free cell phone.
    DVD Players only for passengers
    MP3 isn't really that big of a distraction, it's like a CD player...
    Sat Radio - Same thing.
    Distronic / Active Cruise Control works perfectly fine
    Huge Engine.. YOU ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT?!
    Spiners - only if you're a retard!
    rolling ads on Taxi's - okay, i live in houston, no taxi's here :)
    reclining seats - when have they not reclined? :)
    speakers systems really dont detract attention.

    I think Ferrari's are the biggest distraction :D

    Especially when you have these completely underskilled idiots out there on the road thinking their Ferraris will make them better drivers!

    I guess, in this isolated case, I can appreciate Jimmy540, always doing 20mph below the speed limit in his 360! ;)

    What's worse is those super old 550's that make the drivers thinking they are god driving in two lanes :D

    I love you Dan (who is still in Arabia land)

    I wish all cars came with no cupholders, radios, fancy gauges (all I need is a tach thank you), cruise control, ac, etc, etc. Gimme a box with an engine and I'll be happy.

    Maybe thats why I love the F40... a real car with no fancy gizmos and one that can bite you in the arse in a heartbeat.

    What about all the electronic nannies and driving aids like F1?

    Pretty soon there'll be no fun left in driving.
