No, it doesn’t have some crazy feature…this car key fob is shocking, literally. When the buttons are pushed, instead of unlocking the car, the fob releases an electric shock. Now I’m thinking why would you pay $21 for something like this. I mean, you could use it to make fun of your friends, but come to think about it better, the best use for this would be to trick your son/daughter/younger sister when trying to get the car without your notice. THAT would be fun!

Let me guess, you don’t have enough money to buy a Mercedes Benz, right? Relax, neither do I, but the good news is that you can buy one for your son. It’s not a real one, just a pedal car toy and even though it doesn’t 0-60mph in 5 seconds, I’m sure your kid won’t notice the difference.The pedal car is part of the Mercedes-Benz Lifestyle Collection 2008, manufactured by toy maker BIG and it features a sports steering wheel, wheels which echo the aluminum counterparts on the original and two circular instruments. Perfect for Christmas!

Now I’m not sure this is such a good idea. Besides the fact that most women are awful not-so-good drivers, the last thing we need in the morning or in the afternoon rush hour is a bunch of horny ladies stuck in traffic. Not good!
From now on, the owners of the Land Rover LR3 / Discovery 3 will have the option of equipping their car with an Alpine fully integrated rear seat entertainment system. The system includes a 6 stack DVD changer mounted in the boot of car, two 6.5” widescreen displays mounted in front headrests, plus AUX input for games console or camcorders.
Keith Price, Alpine’s OEM manager stated:“The components are securely fitted, tested and designed specifically for Land Rover. This allows us to eliminate many of the problems of safety, interference and usability of aftermarket solutions that customers don’t like. The bespoke software allows front seat passengers control of the system too, increasing convenience and avoiding unnecessary stops to turn the system on or change DVD. It all helps to make the journey a little more pleasant.”
Blaupunkt just announced the TravelPilot Lucca 3.5 Edition. It’s features are nothing out of the ordinary, with an anti-glare, high-contrast 3.5″ TFT touch screen color display in 4:3 format, Centrality Atlas III Dual Core 400 MHz processor, mapping for UK/ Ireland and major roads of Europe pre-installed and detailed maps of other 21 Western European counties offered on a separate DVD.
However, what’s very interesting at this device is its shape, Blaupunkt managing to stand out of the rectangle crowd with a stylish round shape. We don’t know how useful this is (probably takes out more space than the regular rectangle shaped GPS devices) but still, looks very cool. The Blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca 3.5 Edition will probably go on sale in Europe first, without any US release date mentioned.
Other features are:
* SD/SDHC/MMC card reader
* Theft-protected thanks to PIN code
* Integrated TMC receiver
* Display of speed limits with visual and acoustic speed limit warnings
* Error-tolerant input of city names
