Him "Dial home"

Car "Photon torpedos armed"

Him (in a stern voice) "Dial home"

Car "nuclear reactor on"

Him (yelling now) "Dial Home"

Car "Deathstar activated"

Voice reconition does nothing more than aggrivate the user.
I gave it a try but could not get my car to arm the photon torpedoes. As we all know firing unarmed torpedoes may scare someone momentarily, but just watch out for their response when they find out they're unarmed.

What's the sense in providing photon torpedoes that can't be armed? As you can well imagine I'm pretty upset about this and plan on sending a scathing letter to Toyota national and regional.
