If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

In the manga and/or anime and/or award-winning film, Speed Racer (マッハ ゴー ゴー ゴー [Mahha GoGoGo]), the titular character, Speed Racer (I guess his parents already knew what career they wanted for him), drives the Mach 5 - a racecar that has a bunch of buttons that do a bunch of fancy things like pogo over obstacles or deploy saws and whatever else that he uses to win races because I guess these things are allowed.



Here's a list of what the buttons did (spoilers):


Somehow he has less buttons than modern cars.


James Bond also had a few cars with some interesting gadgets:



If you could outfit your car with several buttons that pulled off impossible feats, what would you go for?

I think I'd do for my buttons:
A: Deploys a burrito
B: Signals to other drivers and pedestrians my intention to make a turn in the near future
C: Clears the snow off my car, and also my driveway and sidewalk
D: Burrows underground
E: Creates a noxious odor behind the car that discourages tailgating
F: Helicopter mode, but I never use it because of gas prices, thanks Obama
G: Blasts La Cucaracha

You need better fuel economy than that. Try a white 1988 Honda accord

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

How about a Misty Beige Metallic Honda Accord instead?

You could get a balance of both power and economy if you went with a Red Honda Accord.



The red adds 15 horsepower.

Speed Racer would've been all about the performance offered by electric powertrains, so I'm going with a Red Ford Mustang Mach-E.

I'm all about the big and slow, how about a red Cadillac Fleetwood 75? (the 75 was the super long version)



(irony: powershift posting a small car, I'm posting a huge car.. doesn't powershift usually post huge cars? that's a fuckin bangin Accord too)

I don't know this game the AI natives are playing, but if I had magic buttons in my 2010 Hyundai Elantra I'm going with...
A) going to have to steal that burrito button
B) A/C (should have shopped for that, that was my bad)
C) reparks other cars on the street to utilize the space better
I'm going to end there tho because it was taking me to long to come up with a fourth.

New defenders are nice but they always looked top heavy to me. I'd rather have a bronze rolls boattail.

Rolls are lovely, but sometimes you just want to be out of a hermetically sealed box and enjoy the weather, the smells of the countryside and enjoy the ride on a Harley-Davidson Softail:

'Bronze' is just a bougie way of saying 'metallic brown-' and it's all just orange with context anyway. I come from humble stock, so here's a metallic brown '78 Toyota Corolla like the one I may have been conceived in.

Seems a little bougie, I'd probably go with a brown 1980 Pinto wagon for a more practical grocery getter.

I'm a big fan of the stripes on this white 1979 Pinto wagon from a year earlier.



Now if only it had a button to turn the wheels into paddle wheels for driving across water.
