Ahhh Sir Alec is so right!

Since most of the time I would not really need directions but just some vocal companionship, I'd love to chit chat with MM as I drive down the roads (sorry, unc, I promise to be nice to her)

I was going to say Homer Simpson (for my wife) but he actually now is available. Maybe Darth vader "You will make a right turn here" but I think that would get old.

I just drive. Majel Barrett, inBOIL, or her cohort-in-lust, the captain, might work for me.

I don't have GPS. But if I did, I'd like to hear Liam Neeson. Or maybe Kevin Spacey.

"I shaid to turn right at the lasht intashectshion!"

"I thought you said the 'last set of lights'...."

"Foolish driver, it wuhsh the lasht one! Nexsht time, why don't you jusht run ush of a bloody cliff? And end our livesh right here in a fiery ball of twishted metal!"

You'd never miss a command again.

This is a great idea, I would pay monthly for different voices as a subscription service. I would first pick Richard Pryor with his 'generic white guy' voice.

Especially since we know it wouldn't end there....

"What part of turn don't you understand?! You said you wanted to go all drivin' and shit, and you go and pull this I-don't-know-where-to-turn bullshit. Driving, motherfucker, can you do it?!"
