Americans, please tell me what "non-dairy" means? On the TV sometimes I see people adding somthing called "Non-Dairy Creamer" to coffee.
I can't possibly convey to you how un-appetising that sounds! How could somthing be a "creamer" and "non-dairy"? Is it soy, or totally artificial?
Or is it just marketing... maybe in your market the words "non-dairy" conjure emotions of healthy living and nutritious food. Personally, I can think of nothing more horrifying than eating non-dairy cheese - and perhaps nothing more unhealthy. It kinda smacks of those urban myths about using soy and peanuts in McDonalds hamburgers. Immediate reaction is "that would taste like a plastic bag".
And IMHO, calling somthing a "creamer" rather than "cream" sounds all the more insidious:)
Another safety issue that might not be so fabulous, is if that you -did- decide to break the law and have fun going around corners fast, and the Little Box of Tricks decided that you were over the limit, it would hastily spring into action and cut your fuel off.
Fuel cut is very bad, it makes engines do nasty things to themselves (particularly high compression or turbocharged engines) - but even worse than that is the liklihood that I'll go spearing straight off my corner after the fuel is cut and into the handy neighbourhood power pole.
And how about emergency situations? Wife pregnant? Foot sliced off? Late for work for the tenth time in a row? Sorry mate, no going over 60.
What I think would be a great prank is to turn the orientation of your prankee's reciever at right-angles to it's installed position - so as you passed intersecting roads max speed would go up and down according to the intersected road's limits. That'd be a great laugh:)

If our government ever finds out about this, I'm sure they'll snap it up in a second.
... I can see it now.

The other downside is that my WRX (Impreza Turbo) will be worth a hell of a lot less with legislation like this
