It must be car gadget day here at RealTechNews, but I found another one that had me laughing and secretly wanting to place an order. Basically the VroomBox, let’s you amplify the sound of your engine to match the noise generated by muscle cars and other hot rods and fantasy vehicles. The sound gets sent out from hidden speakers under your car. Just picture the people in the lane next to you when you roar up in your Honda sounding like a Pontiac GTO. Sacrilege! $159 not counting amplifier and speakers.
VroomBox utilizes a powerful microprocessor to digitally recreate the sound of 15 different cars and fantasy vehicles, and play them through speakers under the car. It even includes special effects such as screeching tires and turbo blow-off valves that trigger automatically. And you can download more cars and effects from the web…the VroomBox monitors your engine’s RPM and load constantly, so when you step on the gas or shift gears, your new engine sound follows perfectly.

They're taking pre-orders, apparently. :banghead:
