I love the fact that we have outside cameras at work...

But holy hell I hope I never get into an accident with a Tahoe!

But to be honest, when I first got the car I was quite concerned about accidents. I mean, after all, it's really just a 4-wheeled motorcycle that's pretty fragile in some ways (as in cabin protrusion in an accident with another car).

However, after owning the car for just short time I became obvious that an accident would be more rare than the car itself, as everyone was staring at me like I had my dick out in church. It's the only car I've ever owned that I have never had a "close call" with. Weird, that. But attention wins.

But having the outside cameras at work definitely puts me at ease on those rare perfect days when I drive it there.

Have you seen the inside? I think the shark fin would be the least if your concern. lol It's like a damn video game in there. A hard-to-play one.

In use it's much worse, trust me. lol

So many weird things going on, just information from every corner, and so intricate, then your ass starts to vibrate...

How do you like the Exige? Always thought they were super cool cars, but know nothing about them.

Absolutely love it, nothing like it out there. Makes me feel like Senna at even 40 mph.

The vibration is seriously annoying - have rented a few Yukon XLs on ski trips before and it drives me nuts. I dislike renting cars nowadays because of all the nanny stuff that I can't figure out how to disable and it's not worth the trouble when you're taking it back the next day.

And the infotainment graphics are so Windows 98 CD-burner software installer graphics. Horrible to look at.

I’m with you on the annoyance. First time encountering the vibrating seat I was taking a multi lane off ramp only to encounter a car stopped in the left lane, wasn’t difficult to manoeuvre around but when the seat started to vibrate and some red light flashed on top of the dash, I thought for a moment I’d been tasered or something! It got my attention alright but took my attention away for a second, not helpfull.

Now it’s become a sort of joke while parking, passengers are disappointed if the seat vibrator isn’t activated while parking.

But I have to admit, I enjoy teasing female passengers that there are attachments available for the vibrating seat.

I saw a custom plate on one that said LOTUSH. So true.

I had one with almost every options including backseat Bluray player. You can turn off the vibrating collision sensors. You can turn off most of the electronic nannies. It's very easy to use and easy to drive too.
It even has a power sliding navigation screen where you can hide a 9mm.
My only gripe is the tiny moonroof instead of a big panoramic roof. If I didn't need a pick up truck, I would have kept it.
