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

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.
