My thoughts on…the BMW GINA
June 18th 2008 -
I trust that you’re viewing this page with Firefox 3. If not, then what are you waiting for? Get it now! Download Day may be over, but it’s still worth the download. It’s puts IE7 in its place once again.
But enough about browsers. I really wanted to talk about the BMW GINA, a morphable, fabric-covered car. That’s right. Fabric. Polyurethane-coated Lycra in fact. Not metal. As for the morphable part, don’t get too excited. You won’t have your own Optimus Prime in your driveway anytime soon. It allows you to alter a few of its features, such as the spoiler, headlights, headrests, and most noticeably the hood. As I said before, its no Optimus Prime, but he might start making house calls if you owned one of these. Hey, robots need love too, and it does have “GINA” in the title. Here’s a video.
Great stuff, except for that engineer talking down to me, breaking down every single word longer than two syllables. An acronym is a set of letters? Really? Next thing you’ll be telling me that the Earth isn’t flat. It’s a pretty awesome looking car, you have to admit, but not very practical. It would be hell to get a stain out. And it would fold like a bad poker hand in case of a car crash. It’s one of those cars that just belongs in a museum.

as much as this looks good it makes no damn sense kudos for the idea but unless every vehicle and adopts this idea i would never*even if they mass produced it and i could buy it* never drive this on a road anywhere that’s like going to prison wearing makeup and a wig you would be just begging for something bad to happen to your personage

I didn’t feel the engineer to be talking down to me really. He’s just excited about his new baby. And this, my friend is a swell looking ride, but I agree, it can’t be safe in an accident.
