We're all familiar with that list of, "If GM cars were like MS Window. . . " joke, but I have created a new, more accurate one, because I am very bored.
In short, I can represent Microsoft Windows and GM Motors in the following way:![[Image: cheese_whine.gif]](http://graphics.gaiaonline.com/images/template/smiles/cheese_whine.gif)
Or maybe the opposite of wine and cheese. I don't know. Do they go together or not?
Quote:If Cars worked like Windows:
1.) You could drive your car, but you aren't allowed to resell it or open the hood/anything else to see how it works. Doing so will lead to police tracking you immediately Via GPS, which you didn't even know came with the car.
2.) In the middle of opening up your gas tank, the flap closes and a message on your car beeps asking, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
3.) Upon filling up your gas tank, after pushing a button to confirm you did indeed wish to put gas in your car, your car locks believing you are an intruder.
4.) If you go to get your car repaired, and a new part installed, you do not receive the entire car back. Instead, you receive many different fragments of the car and are required to go through the long and tedious process of putting them all back together. This, you can not do, because you aren't permitted to view the parts in the first place.
5.) Insurance Companies don't exist.
6.) Any insurance companies that do exist are owned by the company who sold you your car and require that you allow them to send you unwanted gifts promoting themselves in order to receive your insurance policy.
7.) Competetors allow you to look what's in their cars, yet no one really knows what any of the parts do . . . O_O;;
8.) New models of the cars come out every so often selling for twice as much. Changes include a new paint job, and a new paint job.
9.) Burglars can exploit several areas of your car that are absolutely impossible to lock (if you do manage to lock them, read #1). You would use your built-in report system to report this crime, but you are unable to access your stolen car.
10.) Using the wrong set of keys to try and open your car causes it to lock permanently. The car assumes you are using a faulty version of the car, instead of the wrong set of keys.

I like motorcycles mooore anywho. Cars don't feel right, driving all on one side.
