Anyone else argue/yell at their car?

***nycclaye*** · 01-05-2008, 07:58 PM

(rant)Ok, if you have the OEM Navigation you should probably be able to relate to this. My car will celebrate it's first birthday in about a month, and I'm starting to yell at the Navigation more and more...

The voice activation is great, when it works, but I hate trying to say "AUDIO OFF" and I get "AUDIO ON"!! Then I'll repeat myself and it'll say ever so f**kin politely "AUDIO ON"! Within the past months I've almost punched my nav a million times.

"FIND NEAREST GAS STATION" leads me to "HIDE GAS STATIONS"
"GO HOME" doesn't ever take me home
"XM ONE PRESET ONE" gets me "XM CHANNEL ONE HUNDRED ONE"

Thanks for listening..

sorry i dont have navi but i have yelled at my car, several times...

***Special Ringpop*** · 01-06-2008, 02:26 AM

I yell at my car every time it starts to creak, pop, or rattle.

Or everytime I notice more and more of my fabric starting to wear.

I hit my car whenever it tries to embarrass me in public. She knows who's in charge...

***Chase*** · 01-06-2008, 02:33 AM

Has your car ever said anything back to you?

MRK20 · 01-06-2008, 02:35 AM

No clue...I'm not the greatest listener.

The Meanie runs the show. I don't yell at him but I will beg and sweat talk. Now the Navigation (The parasitic talking tumor in the dashboard) I yell at. I hate that betch.

I insult the Volvo though. Helga listens when I boss her around and threaten to trade her in for an Accord coupe. She's moody and doesn't really care for me all that much.

AllShowNoGo · 01-06-2008, 10:39 AM

***BLouIsGod*** · 01-06-2008, 10:44 AM

Ive stopped using voice activation because TW (trunk whore) cant understand me unless I speak directly into the mic.

***nycclaye*** · 01-06-2008, 11:31 AM

It's because your navi is a woman.

I quit using the voice commands a long time ago for this very reason.
