8 Signs Your Car Might Have Been Radicalized

The beard and turban are dead giveaways: This might be your first clue that something is wrong.

There are a lot of voices out there. Do you know which ones your car is listening to? If you’re not careful, your own vehicle may fall under the spell of a dangerous and radical ideology.

Here are some of the signs that your car may have been radicalized:


  1. The beard and turban are dead giveaways: This might be your first clue that something is wrong.

  2. The GPS navigation voice keeps shouting “Allahu Akbar!” instead of saying normal things like, “At the light, make a left”: It almost certainly didn’t come like that from the factory.

  3. The brakes seem to stop working whenever you’re near a Pride parade: Something is definitely wrong.

  4. It parks itself facing Mecca five times a day: That’s not how you left it earlier, right?

  5. It keeps raving about the Emily Wilson translation of The Odyssey being better than Fagles. Trust us, this is a telltale sign of radicalization.

  6. You found a Quran in the glove box: And you don’t even own a Quran.

  7. It only makes left turns. Or it only makes right turns: Contrary to popular belief, a car can be radicalized to the left or the right.

  8. Every time you get in the car, it automatically starts playing Tucker Carlson’s podcast: Stop what you’re doing and get your car the help it needs right away.


Well, there you have it. If you see something, say something.
