now if only they had someone working on itunes and the app store

...and keyboards that actually work!

I won’t be a fan of an icar. It will be too long and thin and to fill up the tank you will need to go to a special gas station.

And in order to fill up at a regular gas station, don't forget or lose your icar special dongle or else the regular gas pump won't fit into your gas tank.

And every once in a while they will just decide to remove a piece of the car and force drivers to adopt new habits - "The iCar 2 will no longer have a steering wheel and all drivers will now steer with their tongues."

And whenever you upgrade the car's OS, everything you are used to totally changes.

Congratulations, your iCar's new OS is successfully installed! Your blinker is now where the washer fluid bar used to be and we reversed your shifter so Park is now Reverse and 1st gear is now 4th. You're welcome!

I doubt they will run on gasoline. I assume Apple will only be making electric cars.

Oh, and they will change the shape of (or remove completely) the charging plug every couple of years so you have to buy a new one. How do you think they made so much money over the years...they are geniuses!! Bastards, but geniuses.

Wasn't it Phineas T. Barnum that famously proclaimed "There's a sucker born every minute"? Well, Jobs & Co. learned that lesson very, very well.....
