|    Tastes Better Than a Steering Wheel Spik    |

      From: howdHol@yaooho.com              There was an old joke by George Carlin that the best car safety device       would be spike in the middle of the steering wheel pointed right at the       driver's chest.              It turns out that Volkswagen had a similar idea, but it delivered       caffeine -- a dashboard mounted coffee pot.              https://www.thedrive.com/news/36295/this-dash-mounted-coffee-maker-is-       likely-the-rarest-volkswagen-accessory-ever              https://tinyurl.com/y4n8a6ys              I guess in VW's defense, they maybe had a warning somewhere to not drink       (and brew) and drive.              It also sounds questionable whether the coffee managed to get very hot.       And I think the VW that had it as a custom feature was probably had only       a three HP motor with a top speed of about 15 mph (downhill) so there       wasn't much danger of it flying off in your face.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
