Dashboard companions: a wonderful way to brighten up your journey

Find yourself getting lonely on your long drive to work? Need somebody to comment on your driving at rush hour? Or just fancy someone to join in your hatred of other drivers? Whatever your need, these three dashboard companions are great gadgets to have in your car.

They each respond to the movements of your car, and shout relevant phrases. Which one you choose completely depends on your driving style and manner:

Homer – Homer shouts insults at you or the other drivers, in classic Homer fashion. Some of his wonderful words are:
“Your child might be an honours student, but you’re a moron!”
“What is this? National Stupid Drivers Day?”
“Red light; turn green… now… now… okay… now… it worked!”

Darth Vader – If you want someone to preach the dark side to you whilst driving, Darth Vader is the clear choice. You’ll feel like you’re driving an X-Wing Starfighter rather than a Ford Mondeo! Some of his classic Star Wars phrases are:
“Do not underestimate the power of the dark side!”
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”

Yoda – Listen to Jedi words of wisdom whilst driving home after work. Yoda is sure to calm you in the rush hour crush with his peaceful words:
“May the force be with you.”
“Sense the force around you”
“Hard to see the dark side it is.”

These dashboard companions will certainly make rush hour traffic more interesting, so choose one that fits you and stick it onto your dashboard.
