    Can I get one installed in my car? Maybe some of these asshats will actually, oh I don't know, look at a map BEFORE leaving for their destination and maybe pay the fuck attention to the road and not to the little screen on their dashboard. I'm sure the other people on the road and the pedestrians will be thankful. Seriously, how fucking hard is it to figure out how to go somewhere before you climb into your gas guzzling monster of an SUV?
