I can hardly wait for my ObamaCar.

An ObamaCar.... Hmmm...

It would take five times as long to develop as any other car.
The first 1,000 of them wouldn't work at all and would have to be replaced under warranty.
The development cost would be 100 times that of any other car ever made.
It would be a car that starts off as one type of vehicle and changes to another over a few years of running it.
It would be cheap to buy because it costs little but yet tremendously expensive because everyone else pays for it.
It would monitor everything you do and report it back to every Federal agency.
You couldn't own it, but just rent it.
Its country of origin would be in dispute.
Its paint color would be grey (neither dark or light colors offered).
It would include insurance, but not necessarily what you want.
It would run on gas that changed price depending on what you could supposedly "afford".
Upkeep and mechanical maintenance would be outsourced to some other country.
The car would have an autonomous mode that would ignore any traffic rules it thinks doesn't apply.
Anyone would be allowed to drive it, even if they have no license.
It wouldn't have any keys or locks, and if you try to install them, it calls maintenance to come remove them.
It would qualify for "cash for clunkers" in just a few years and sell back for more than it cost to make.
There would be a great car support website that solicits improvement suggestions and pretty much ignores them all.

You mean something like that?  (Oh and a BushAcar would be just as miserable, and in many of the same ways but also in different ways)

And it would have big ears like the Truly Nolan cars.

If you like your car, you can keep your car.

You would find out what your car looked like after you bought it.
God does not subtract from a man's life the number of hours spent riding a motorcycle

Fast *should* be quiet.  People need to get over this whole noise = fast crud.

Just wait until fully electric... OMG fast and virtually no sound at all.  All we need are vastly more powerful batteries.  But even with limited batteries- Tesla vehicles haul ass!

Like I said, they go faster. But speed isn't everything. I still rather see a race between WWII aircraft then jets.

These cars have something the electrics will never have:

...and then there is this...

Why not just put baseball cards in the spokes?
Or a Mr. T recorded voice screaming, 'Get Outta the Way, Fool'~
Possibly the infamous tunes played on ice cream trucks
Could use the sounds of 12 sled dogs
Maybe a promo vehicle for a local craft beer, that belches and farts
Ok, I'm done.

My buddy is visiting for the Austin MotoGP this week and is a photo journalist. He was telling me about Formula E race and since the cars didn't make any noise they played lame video game like music to try to make the race more exciting. Said it would have been much better without the fake music/noise.
