Are You So Old You Should You Have Your Driver's License Revoked?

Then Lexus is the automobile manufacturer for you!

A car with a talking GPS that you can pre-program 200 destinations into online? I mean, a car your grandson can program 200 destinations into online? Wait a minute--the voice tells you where to go and if you still can't figure it out, an actual person will come on the line, politely neglect to tell you how stupid you are, and tell you how to get there in a loud, measured voice?

My crystal ball is getting cloudy. You know what that means...uh-oh, here we go...

I hear a deafening conversation taking place in the front seat of a pesky, dented, diaper-scented Cadillac about to be replaced by a Lexus with EnformTM eDestinationTM technology:
"Huh?"
"I said, 'WHERE ARE WE GOING?'"
"WE'RE GOING TO MABEL'S."
"Where does Mabel live?"
"Huh?"
"WHERE DOES MABEL LIVE?"
"I thought YOU knew!"
"I DON'T REMEMBER."
"Ask the car."
"What?"
"ASK THE CAR!"
"The car? THE CAR IS AN INANIMATE OBJECT!"
"CAR: TAKE US TO MABEL'S."

Nothing happens.


"I told you so."
"Well, maybe we should get one of those Lexuses. The Joneses have one and it does whatever they tell it to do."
"FUCK THE JONESES!"

Three hours later, they arrive at Mabel's house only two miles away.

Three weeks later, they trade in the Cadillac for a Lexus and promptly drive off a bridge when the calm voice at the helm says to continue straight ahead...
Thank you, Lexus!
