"pass around viruses and pass them on to our Priuses"... It rhymes, so it's my

Now who actually got that top of the line $37k Prius with navigation and

they will just crash it at worst.

But really Bluetooth would be cool.

Just a small bit of info on the NEW 2006 RCX - it'll have Bluetooth.

PLEASE bring back the AC adapter port!

Also, there will be a remote-controlled train system.

These two items are really long overdue. Remember those sorta-remote-controlled
12V train sets? Got lights too. By now we should have LED-driven signal light as
well!
