I choose to believe the late Tom Magliozzi of Car Talk fame put in a word with the right automotive deities to help make this happen.

Also a common trope on Car Talk, RIP Tom Magliozzi.

Sounds a bit like that episode of American Auto.

Sounds like a great question for Car Talk!

I mean that did describe Car Talk

I think there is alway an engineer in the car.

Sounds like the Watson for cars. It'll happen.

If I had to guess it’ll be some kind of named Symbol under the hood.

To give your car a devil tempting you to do something stupid like let down your guard and trust it to do the right thing which it will usually do right up to the point it doesn't?

You find a way to make that hunk-o-junk accelerate as fast as my small SUV can accelerate to get a right turn into a gap in traffic ... and I just might believe you.

maybe the car has gained the ability to comment here.

Your car’s manual will say.

I have a friendly car, a car that talks

Vehicles are a ubiquitous part of American culture and Car Talk shed light on an otherwise opaque world of mechanical wizardry. Click and Clack will be greatly missed.

I prayed for the starter motor to be able turn the crank with whatever charge was left after my brother borrowed my car and drained the battery by leaving the headlights on.

If they can get the car started.

I need to get this carved into my steering wheel.

I need to burn it into my brain that it's acceptable to be adequate.

Hilarious typo. I’m imagining the vehicle saying things like “You suck, you’re so lucky I’m the only car that will ever love you.” “

Makes me think of an automobile manufacture saying, "We've switched all the gas and brake pedals with each other. You're gonna love it!"
