Every time they repainted the lines on the
road, you'd have to buy a new car.
-
Occasionally your car would just die on the
motorway for no reason, and you'd have to restart it. For some strange
reason, you'd just accept this, restart and drive on.
-
Occasionally, executing a maneuver would
cause your car to stop and fail to restart and you'd have to re-install
the engine. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this too.
-
You could only have one person in the car
at a time, unless you bought a "Car 95" or a "Car NT". But then you'd
have to buy more seats.
-
Macintosh would make a car that was powered
by the sun, was twice as reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to
drive - but it would only run on five percent of the roads.
-
The Macintosh car owners would get
expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars which would make their cars
go much slower.
-
The oil, engine, gas and alternator warning
lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning
light.
-
People would get excited about the "new"
features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been
available in other cars for many years.
-
We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas
and all auto fluids but the packaging would be superb.
-
New seats would force everyone to have the
same size butt.
-
The airbag system would say "Are you sure?"
before going off.
-
If you were involved in a crash, you would
have no idea what happened.
-
They wouldn't build their own engines, but
form a cartel with their engine suppliers. The latest engine would have
16 cylinders, multi-point fuel injection and 4 turbos, but it would be a
side-valve design so you could use Model-T Ford parts on it.
-
There would be an "Engium Pro" with bigger
turbos, but it would be slower on most existing roads.
-
Microsoft cars would have a special
radio/cassette player which would only be able to listen to Microsoft
FM, and play Microsoft Cassettes. Unless of course, you buy the upgrade
to use existingstuff.
-
Microsoft would do so well, because even
though they don't own any roads, all of the road manufacturers would
give away Microsoft cars free, including IBM!
-
If you still ran old versions of car (ie.
CarDOS 6.22/CarWIN 3.11), then you would be called old fashioned, but
you would be able to drive much faster, and on more roads!
-
If you couldn't afford to buy a new car,
then you could just borrow your friends, and then copy it.
-
Whenever you bought a car, you would have
to reorganize the ignition for a few days before it worked.
-
You would need to by an upgrade to run cars
on a motorway next to each other.
