This is the 500 Abarth we saw at the car show the other day. Dealer guy started it up. Sounded pretty responsive!

Lol.

I do want to try iPhone but I need the physical keypad.

I'm going to have to stick my head under the dash and check things out again. The last time I looked was during winter hibernation when I lifted the cover to see what revision S/L I have.

A plug and play unit would be ideal, however for the sake of experimenting, a OEM male plug cut from a totaled Z would be perfect. The chances of me finding a wrecked Z around here is slim to none, the car is just too rare in these parts.

The beauty of iPhone touchscreen keypad: you can suck at it and it will still guess what your fat fingers meant to type!

Hahaha, I run an app i bought to type on my droidx cause I also type Japanese off my droidx. It has text prediction and auto-text and stuff but the capacitance touch panels don't work well when my thumb is too dry. That is one of the biggest problems with touchpanels for me in general...

ZCarMan's wife bought an Abarth - we saw it in person at the last meet up we had in Columbia. It looks nice, and sounds nicer! I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it fit my requirements on a vehicle.

So about 10 years ago I came up with this great idea for an invention that I never got going. I all but forgot about the idea until today when I was on the phone with a friend that brought it up. I started thinking about all the cash I could make by actually developing this product. Well after talking to my buddy I did a google search to see if the product is on the market. Well in 2009 some guy won some invention contest for the exact idea that I had. The idea was to create a ceiling fan that would simply screw into a standard light bulb socket so that it did not have to be hard wired in. It could go from home to home or room to room no problem as you just unscrew it and screw it into another light socket. Damn it for not executing on my idea back in college.

kenchan · 04-24-2012, 09:50 PM

imagine all the fires you would've started.

ZMan8 · 04-24-2012, 09:50 PM

what stops the screw in fan from unscrewing accidentally and falling on people?

kenchan · 04-24-2012, 09:51 PM

wat stops the fan from making ceiling go airborne?

Drove it to work. First time I've driven it in about 2 weeks.
Got some new G-Star jeans while I was in NYC last week. The pocket zippers are not very friendly to my seats. WTF? Now I have to consider which car I'm driving when I get dressed for work in the morning? LOL!
