apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I have to get one of those drivemocion things. I have wanted something like this for years and have, on occasion, been known to scribble a message on a notepad and hold it up to the windown. Most of the time I say nice stuff like, "you have a flat tire," (though that got me the bird once). This is almost my dream gadget except it is missing some key phrases:

1. You're cute.
2. Use your blinker dumb***
3. You almost killed me.
4. Your car is on fire.
5. Gas is the pedal on the right.
6. Cops are great (just for those rare occasions).

What fun!

Love the list sassy...perhaps add one more:
"Less dialing and more driving"

Re: Drivemoicon.

Just finished Augusten Burroughs' "Possible Side Effects". In the chapter titled "Moving Violations," he describes his friend Druggy Debbie's early 80's, low-tech version of this same concept. Whenever a fellow driver would perform some sort of traffic infraction that annoyed her, she would shock the drivers by flashing large mounted boards featuring close-up shots of obscenely pornographic images ("graphic, triple-X shots from Dutch and German porn magazines"), each one printed with its own reprimand:

"Use your blinkers when changing lanes!!!
You are a Careless Driver.
Get some Road Manners.
Stop Tailgating.
Don't Pass on the Right"

Similar idea, better execution.

Don't quote me on this, but i'm 99 percent sure Drivemocion is illegal in California. The website's FAQ points to the possible illegality of the product.
