I remember the Corvette had it's valet/kid's key that limited the HP of the engine. Sort of opposite of that Top Speed key.

That "Gentleman Function" gave me other mental images, especially considering a saying I heard once about an expensive item. "Holey Moley! For that much money it oughta <verb> your <noun>!"

Anyways, I've got the MyColor thing in my Mustang - pretty cool (especially the RWB function) even better when I'm fatigued I can changed the cluster over to red and it makes night driving much easier on the eyes.
On bad **** feature for the 2011 cars (maybe even the 2010s) when you hit the rev limiter, the whole roundel turns red.

Thats the one thing I really enjoy about my car....(2001 Pontiac Grand AM SE)....in that the in dash lighting is red hued which makes night driving a bit more bearable.

I'd like it if that MyColor thing could be linked to GPS and turn red if you're over the local speed limit. I've been sent on the Naughty Course now and don't fancy getting any points...
Oddest stuff I've seen:
-gyroscopic dashboard flower vase on first series of New Beetle
-door-mounted umbrella holster on Rolls-Royce (so you can immediately cover your passenger when opening door for them- thank you, Parker...)
- Windows Mobile button on Fiat 500 (no idea what it did,and didnt dare touch it in case it died and crashed at 90mph on an Italian freeway)
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
