Somewhere in the menus for the fancy in-dash touchscreen on our Buick Regal GS test car, I noticed a utility for uploading and viewing photos. What? Why would you ever have to, or want to, flip through pics while you're trying to drive?? And the video-chat functionality in the photo below is just chilling. Because yeah, that's what I want the dumbass teenager in the hulking SUV next to me to be doing while he's trying to change lanes in traffic. U.S. Transport Secretary Ray LaHood would seem to agree, as he's seeking "voluntary" and self-imposed restrictions on automakers to cut out the dangerously distracting feature-clutter from their in-car infotainment systems. And naturally, the automakers, who are quite attached to the do-dads and have spent a fortune developing and marketing them, are pushing back. Who do you suppose will prevail? To what extent should distracting touchscreen gagetry be regulated, and how far should they go in enforcing it? Full story at Carscoop.
Could it be that they've actually found a way to improve the coolness of an AT-AT Imperial Walker? I'd say so. I mean, take the best retro bus on the planet and give it legs. What do you have? It's almost unspeakable. And the rebels are taking old Walkers and re-modding them for a counter-assault, and vader is gonna poop his matte black shorts...
Stanceworks arranged to have this bagged Lamborghini Murcielago shipped all the way from Japan so they could do the fitment on it--using those HRE Vintage Series wheels Rob told you about the other day--and then take it for a sweet photo shoot in Los Angeles. What do you think of the look? More views below the jump, full gallery at Stanceworks.
