Imagine having only a gallon of gas in your car, enough only to last you for one day, but amazingly, incredibly, it lasts for eight whole days, and the fuel gauge doesn't go down even a smidgen!
The miracle of Hannukah lives on with the Hanukkah Car. This car comes with a secret, reserve tank full
of gas that the customer will never know about (and won't see even if he looks, because it's inset into the real gas tank).
When the car's computer calendar detects that it's Hanukkah, the reserve tank activates instead of the regular tank -- for 8 days.
After 8 days, the fuel gauge starts dropping again as normal, and over the next year, every time the driver fills up, the reserve tank receives a tiny bit of the gasoline. It's so gradual that the driver is never any the wiser.

This is such a horrendously terrible, silly, worthless, POINTLESS idea that I think I have to bun it. [+] Thanks for the laugh. |

(car:fuel:emotion?? "I'm feeling kinda unleaded 87 octane today"??) |

hee hee hee. My girlfriend told me about this car she saw yesterday that had 8 electric candles on top of it. I thought this idea was going to be something like that. Your is much funnier. (+) |

I'm giving this idea five loaves of bread and two fish (as soon as I figure out how to do that). |

Somewhere on HalfBakery, there's a Last Supper Restaurant waiting to be borne |

I just realized I spelled Hanukkah two different ways in the same sentence. Is that legal? |
|
| |
Hannukah, Chanukah, Hanukkah..... |
|

haha...[+] why didnt I think of this... |

Who snipped the end off my tailpipe!? |

"Come to Shalomotors and take the new four stroke Dreidel for a spin." |

What happened to that link? |

For Jehova, [phundung], what a lovely idea! [+] |
|
| |
I thought of an additional feature. |

Given the target market, I assume this is going to be a nice high-end car, so it will have a built-in cell-phone hands free setup. If you run out of gas, say a certain prayer in Hebrew. The microphone picks that up and releases a small amount of gas from the reserve tank so you can get to a station. |

This gets a [+] from me for krelnik's
last annotation, alone. |

I fondly remember a debate in which we worked out 16 different ways to spell that word. You know, the festival with lights...Anyway, it turned out all of them are acceptable spellings, you can use whichever one you want. Personally I go with my favourite "Channucah". |

I had an 87 oldsmobile omega that did this for me. The needle stayed in the red for two whole weeks once. |

Ahh, first cars truely are magic. I guess it was something to do with the hazlewood wand that was plugging a tube in the cruise control module. |
|

fantastic! I love some of the puns too ^ |

Sweet idea, though maybe it's
been done.
There was plenty of oil, but the
sacrament-certified vat was dry because
of
local conflict. Would a devoted tender
actually let the eternal flame go out? Or
would they stop by late-ish for a top
off?
Lo, a Miracle! -- plus a dandy overlay of
the preexisting annual fest. And don't
get
me started about that
half-risen, half-baked Eastover thing. |

A matzoh for making a religion seem like it's actually good for something. [+] |
|

here's an unleavened buntcake [=], hahahahehe, the human mind is so gullable to believe that it's getting 1 day's worth of gas out of 8 days worth of driving when in fact it's paying for that extra juice over the course of a year! [+] |

I'm not riding in the Hanukkah Car if I have to blow the shofar. |
