    I think this is hilarious, esp. the video, makes me laugh out loud. I love the idea of trying it out while jogging...

    I'm going to catch it now, but I want that App. Cool sound when I want it, normal when I don't and no neighbors get offended. No problem, I live in my own little world anyway. :D

    You are fast MM. I just downloaded it and it said it was "Free" all day. What a deal. Test drive in the morning, after the wife leaves. :D

    PS: Post how the drive went.

    Don't know how MM did with the app, but here is my test. Could not get it to play through the speakers, but that could have been a simple fix. Once you start your car moving forward the app goes through all the gears, regardless of what you might actually be doing with the gas or the shifter. Stop, and it goes back through the gears to idle (sometimes).

    I am very glad it was free, as I found it "very cute", but it is now "very gone". :D
