    what about one of the cars from "cars" (pixar movie) of course since those are anthropomorphized it'd be like your sitting in someones head

    I would still love to own that truck from Maximum Overdrive so I can scare the piss out of my neighbors. It'd be a great watchdog.

    I wish I had read this before I got my sentient car. Her radio only plays old Tiffany and Debbie Gibson songs and she refuses to drive in the snow (I live in Colorado)

    The trick is to strike a balance between Christine and Herbie. I suggest K.A.R.R. — he only kills people if they get in his way.

    Thanks, idiotic programmers! "Let's program the cybernetic supercar with self-preservation as its top priority!"

    The correct term is actually "Sapient" not "Sentient"

    Yay for unnecessary pedantics! 😀

      Sapient means of human intelligence.

      Sentient means able to perceive the environment and make decisions.

      These cars are a better example of sentient than of sapient (Possibly K.I.T.T. might be an exception).

      Sapient: having or showing great wisdom or sound judgment. (source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sapient)

      Sentient:

      –adjective

      1. having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.

      2. characterized by sensation and consciousness.

      –noun

      3. a person or thing that is sentient.

      4. the conscious mind. (source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sentient)

      Sapient would be used to describe a sentient being, whether organic or inorganic. Adam used the right term.

    That is, oddly, something I always wondered about Knight Rider. What happened on their day off? Did Kitt get left in a mall parking lot? Did he go solo?

    I only just started reading the comic (but I've read through the whole archive in the past week), and I have to say, you always bring it home in the 4th panel. Even if I'm not feelin' it in the second or third–BOOM! I hit that fourth panel and I'm LMAO! 😀 Bug is sooo selfish and funny. 😉

    The Car – smells too much like brimstone.

    Speed Buggy – too dorky.

    Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – you end up *shudder* singing songs.
