Baby You Can Drive My Mouse

Seeing the words "car" and "mouse" together typically remind me of this one "Pimp My Ride" episode that featured an old beater with a certain "surprise" inside. Needless to say, it wasn't Mickey Mouse.

Which brings us to the "car mouse" from Four Door Media.

I ran into Four Door's car mice while surfing the Web for potential gift guide material. As its name implies the device is a computer mouse in the shape of a car.

Admittedly, part of me wonders just how comfortable a device shaped like a car would be as a mouse. Then my guy genes override all rational thought and make me go, "But dude, it's a mouse shaped like a car!" The fact that the headlights light up when you press the right and left buttons makes me even more irrational.

The car mouse line offers a wide range of both wired and wireless models to choose from, including Camaros, Mustangs, Dodge Vipers and Ford GT's. Other models are also in the works, including cars from my two favorite brands, Nissan and Lamborghini.

Still, I'm not quite ready to recommend it without giving it a test ride first. Expect a full review once I get the device. In the meantime, you can check out the car mice at www.roadmice.com.
