For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy anew car.3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You wouldhave to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut offthe car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. Forsome reason you would simply accept this.4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause yourcar to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have toreinstall the engine.5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable,five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would run on only fivepercent of the roads.6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all bereplaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warninglight.7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out andrefuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle,turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn howto drive all over again because almost none of the controls would operatethe same way as in the old car.10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.</blockquote>
