Good thing it's not a Dale Sr. GPS or it might guide you into a wall.
Ahh! You beat me to the punch!
"Turn Right."
As fucked up as both of the above jokes are, I laughed so hard. Thank you for starting my day with that
Thinking the exact same thing as aj here
CONTINUE ON THE STRAIGHTAWAY FOR 1.0 MILES THEN PREPARE TO TURN LEFT.
TURN LEFT THEN CONTINUE ON THE STRAIGHTAWAY FOR 1.0 MILES.

@ Andrew
Wow! Do you realize how die-hard Earnhardt fans are? (No pun inteneded) I think you're asking to be guided into a wall at high velocity by one of them crazed fans! ;p
that is about as funny as joking about the people who lost family members in 9/11, or loved ones in iraq. yes i have a sense of humor. no i dont ever think its funny to laugh about people who died untimely deaths and left their families behind.
Same thoughts here lol!
(Too soon?)
@Ryan
The difference being those who died in 9/11 were murdered in cold blood while they were simply in their office or on their way to work, whereas Earnhardt spent his time racing around a track at 180mph a few feet from a concrete barrier...
I wonder if it is pre-disposed to only making continuous left turns at high speeds?
The opposite of UPS routing system =D
I just wanna race, daddy.
When you're passing cars on the highway does it say "Car high, car high... clear clear clear!"?
If it did, I'd definitely buy it. Well, I'd wait for another driver edition and then I'd buy it.
in trucker talk, good buddy means homosexual...
just letting you know engadget
Wow, you dumb Americans spend $$$ on anything don't ya!
(that is if you still have any money to spend)
Perhaps I should take any crap GPS from china supplier and slap on J-Leno's face and see how many of you idiot will dish out $299.97 in this free market...
Your an idiot.
for a non american, you are not smrt.
@Kris S.
Tip: when insulting other people's intelligence, try to make sure that you appear intelligent. For example, ensure you know the difference between "your" and "you're". Put another way, try reading what you wrote before you press the "Add comment" button.
Just because it's out there, doesn't mean we "dumb americans" will buy it. Nevertheless, it's a sure bet that wherever you're from, there's a pile of equally idiotic products that your indigenous people scoop up by the cart load.
Perhaps you should buy a Glock and remove yourself from the gene pool - I think that would be money well spent.
He's either Canadian or a troll or worse, a Canadian Troll. There is only one way to exact our revenge on him and it won't be easy:
Boycott John Candy movies.
@Kelmon, I don't think spelling or grammar has anything to due with intelligence.
Isn't NASCAR the event where they drive around an oval circuit? If so, I can't say that I'd have much confidence in a GPS that only knows how to "turn left".
most are oval, yes. but just like the indy circuit, they have non oval tracks as well.

Hmm, live and learn, I suppose. Carry on...
fucking engadget comment system is suxor. >:(
Finally, the redneck's GPS.
Ideal for Horatio Caine
Find yourself shouting "Go Dale!" anytime you see a 3, 8, or 88? Well now you can go _with_ Dale.
Too bad it can't help him get around the track faster than anybody else.
What does it do when you win a race? Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left.
Garmin beat all of you to the turn left jokes.
The phrase should be ol' boy not 'ol boy. You see, what they do sometimes with those funny little apostrophes is to skip the letter(s) before the word, or after the word... In this case, the d omitted from the end! :o)
