silliness

[redbird]

cattitude was just telling me about scammers who sold pills alleged to increase penis size, breast size, and height (presumably not all the same pill) and improve the victim's golf game, and observed that he was surprised that they don't sell one to turn your car into a red convertible.

After suggesting that there was more money in selling stolen red convertibles, I added that the scammers probably realized that you couldn't get the car to swallow the pills. Which led to the thought of pills for cars as a hitherto-untapped marketing opportunity. Higher gas mileage is too mundane, and so is faster acceleration.

Can we convince the car that if it takes these pills (harmlessly in the gas tank, or maybe in the radiator for the serious stuff) it will develop a better brakes, a sunroof, tail-fins, and machine gun turrets?

But how many cars are online? IME, most cars don't have an e-mail address.

Do me a favour; don't give people any ideas about my red convertible!

Do you really want to have to shell out for your car's "magic pill" habit?
