on the drive with kenny jones – we comb the world wide web to bring you amazing devices that are sure to make life easier in the future…or  leave you scratching your head wondering who was the brain-trust behind that mess.

this next one may be the latter.

mitsubishi is now offering a unique car option to improve their px-meiv model’s interior environment.

it’s called…

“the cocochi package”

the a/c system pumps out aroma molecules, enriched oxygen and negative ions to reduce fatigue.  if the car senses the driver’s concentration is dropping, it issues audio, video, vibrational and fragrance warnings.

no more fallin’ asleep behind the wheel of this bad boy.  and the ritziest part of all – you no longer have to be embarrassed by passing gas inside the car.  that’s right…

sound those trouser trumpets!

the upholstery has an anti-allergen coating to break down odors and “volatile organic compounds,” and each of the four seats is separately air-conditioned to quickly distribute and dispel any remaining flatulence odors.

when asked what they thought of the new invention and who could benefit from it, here’s what the drive contingent had to say…

I think we all know someone that could benefit from this sort of invention.  but it begs the question…

what the hell are they eating in japan to require such technology?

perhaps it’s this:

or this…

or maybe this…

whatever it is that’s running thru their digestive systems, i say this is the coolest invention EVER!

on the drive with kenny jones – we find the latest technological advancements and bring them to you in a segment called “great inventions of the 21st century“.

some of them are quite amazing while others…well, make you cringe, give you the shivers or make you down right sick to your stomach.  like this one…

it involves contractors, human hair and houses.

that’s right, a woman in england has added an extension to her house, built with human hair.  The london telegraph says 42 year old contractor, paula sunshine (sounds like a hippie to me) gathered up the raw materials from local hairdressers as well as using her own and her dog’s.

look out cousin it, she’s thinkin’ about adding on a garage!

i’d tuck that hair under your hat!

she decided to substitute cattle hair in her lime render mixture with the human hair.  the hair apparently acts like fibers that hold the plaster together.

“we don’t get many long-haired cattle around here anymore so i used human hair.  people say it’s not think enough but you just put more in.”
~ paula sunshine

she plans on giving it plenty of nutrients in hopes that it will grow a porch.  she is also rubbing rogaine into the roof and anxiously awaiting a second story.

has anyone checked to see if the curtains match the drapes?  okay, okay – i’ll stop.  but you were all thinkin’ it!

on the drive with kenny jones – we unveiled another new product on a segment we like to call great inventions of the 21st century.  it’s the latest crazy in men’s fashion – mantyhose!

that’s right, mantyhose – pantyhose for men.  who thinks up this crap?

who are we kidding..look how bitchin’ this guy looks!  we know it’s a dude cuz of the beard.

i just threw up in the back of my mouth a little.

it’s the latest in fashion – according to selfridges of london anyway.  you can check out these wonderful new under-garments for men at e-mancipate.net.  apparently they’re stylish, comfortable and improve performance in sport…so long as that sport is ballet!!!

here’s what the the drive contingent has to say about this hot new item…

it was unanimous – not one single member of the drive contingent would be caught dead in a pair of manyhose – at least that’s what they said on the air.

the mantyhose come in an assortment of colors including:  black, white, sheer, pink, tribal prints and the very manly – military green.

sure…very manly that camoflage print – he still looks like a dandy.

pantyhose for me is not the only crossover fashion item you’ll find at e-mancipate.com – they’re thought of everything…

crossover fashion statement

• sheer underwear
• suspenders
• thigh highs
• thongs
• intimate apparel
• men’s high heels

……………………………….i have no idea what to say here.  but this very well may be the sign of the apocalypse.

on the drive with kenny jones – we discussed the new coca-cola “freestyle” fountain.  It offers thirsty customers over 100 beverage options and they can pour themselves a cold one of their choosing using a touch screen.  it’s being dubbed the “fountain of the future”.

100 different flavors to choose from – i feel like my heads gonna explode tryin’ to decide from the 4 or 5 you get now.

anyway, like any piece of 21st-century equipment, the Freestyle has the ability to send back all sorts of data to coke hq, including what the most popular flavors are, when and how much people were drinking and where the hot spots are.  coke hq even has a kill switch for any flavors they need to stop offering instantly…pretty cool.

all this talk about the new coca cola freestyle got us into a bit of a soda war.  listen to the heated battle the drive contingent got into over their favorite beverages…

ah…feels like the 80s all over again, doesn’t it?  anyone interested in takin’ the pepsi challenge?  are you of the opinion that coke is the real thing? or maybe you’re a pepper?  who’s are you gonna align yourself with in the soda war?

on the drive with kenny jones, in the “great inventions of the 21st century” segment he talked about the latest innovation from tata motors of india.   the, wait for it…wait for it…air powered car.

i'd drive anything at this point

zero pollution motors (zpm) says they could be manufacturing these little beasts in the u.s. in late 2009.  for rock bottom price of…well, less than $18 grand.

i’d rundown the specs for you but to be honest, i got bored with the article…but isn’t that thing just the cutest!

while we’re waiting for tata to get us the air powered car – here’s another one of their other breakthru innovations.

it’s genius!  i soooooooo want one.
