New live traffic system from Pioneer and XM

One of the cooler new Weblogs on our network is Droxy, The Digital Radio Blog, grabbed this story on a new Pioneer system that will display XM's NavTraffic in live 3D updates. The best part of the $2,500 system is that it plays DVDs, CDs and can even display images from rear mounted cameras.

Anyone have some good "I drove like an idiot on snow and this happened…" stories?
