Friday Funny ~ funny but no joke!

Are we too old to drive this car?
The new Benz - really different!
Concept car that we are probably too old to drive!
This is the new Mercedes Benz SCL600

That's not what's different about it
That either
Now for the really different part...
Here is what is different...
NO steering wheel, you drive it with a joystick.  No pedals either.
Can you drive with a joystick?  Your kids/grandkids probably can.
The influence of video games has really arrived, wouldn't you say?

Scary thought that now a 7 year old could steal your car... and probably drive it better than you!

  4. Crazy! look at the dash console too.
    Interesting link from Lytha at Snopes says this car was introduced OVER 10 YEARS ago as a research car. Obviously, it's not going over too well, YET!

    Hope they never try to install that in pickups. Can you imagine trying to back a big trailer up? LOL
