My new truck!
I bought a new Chevy Avalanche and returned to the dealer yesterday because I couldn't get the radio to work.

The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.

'Nelson,' the salesman said to the radio.

The radio replied, 'Ricky or Willie?'

'Willie!' he continued and 'On The Road Again' Came from the speakers.

Then he said, 'Ray Charles!', and in an instant ' Georgia On My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, Every time I'd say, 'Beethoven,' I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, 'Beatles,' I'd get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, some guy ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck, but I swerved in time to avoid him.

I yelled, 'Ass Hole!'

Immediately the radio responded with, 'which one, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, or Sarah Palin?'

Damn I love this truck...

2. Sorry E - I'm having a hard time believing that. I mean - what if the person who bought that truck
was a repug? Chevy would have hell to pay - and they know better.

Did you program it to say that? Sounds a little fishy to me.

6. It is, Chevy DOES NOT offer voice activated radios, Ford does.
In cooperation with Microsoft, the DU hated Microsoft....
