If I were given the chance to build a car with all the bells and whistles that I wanted there is one thing that would top my list. A BUILT IN VACUUM! That's right ladies a built in vacuum. Why can't a hose come from the ceiling when those spill emergencies happen? Imagine all the use this thing would get: Baby spills his Cheerios, no need to drag out that garage vacuum or drive to the gas station or wait for the hubs to clean it, just simply reach up and grab the concealed vacuum and pull the hose down and clean it up right then and there. Now that would be nice! The canister could be kept in the trunk of the car to be emptied at your next fill up. Awesome? Right!
I have limited drawing abilities. Use your imagination and picture this vacuum hidden!
Why am I telling you this? Well, I was asked a few months ago to participate in the Ford "What Women Want" event held in Chicago on Thursday, July 23 the day before BlogHer. At this event I will get the opportunity to tour the plant and the assembly line of the new Ford Taurus and play with all the bells and whistles of the new Ford Fusion. I am honored to be able to join 50+ bloggers for this event and I would like to come with some ideas in hand besides my awesome vacuum idea. So here's your chance, let me know what you would want in a car. Or if you can't think of a really cool new feature tell me what is important to you (safety, fuel efficiency, leather). Or tell me what annoys the heck out of you about cars. My pet peeve? The glove box, it is never big enough. I want to be able to keep babywipes and diapers in there plus some other things. Why is it the owner's manual barely fits? Hello storage, have we met? My goal is to come to the meeting with some outrageously awesome ideas that make you go hmmmmm.
My other idea, I would love if there was some kind of robot arm that could magically pick up dropped toys, juice cups or snacks. Do you know how hard it is to drive and reach in the back for fallen items?
I guess when it comes down to it safety, comfort and fuel efficiency would top my list but man if I am building a dream car why not dream big!
Got any ideas? Leave me a comment and let me know.
