might come in handy for the slow drivers that get confused around the 95-195 merge. I'd like to teach a few of them a lesson.

I find that TurboBoost and Ski Mode would be more effective in heavy traffic situations than heavy artillery.

i havetwo dummy buttons on my dash labeled _*PHASERS*_ and _*PHOTON TORPEDOES*_ and people always try and hit the torpedo button first! i have to stop them, and I'm all like
"Didn't you see 'Q Who?' or 'New Ground'!? if the torps detonate too close, theyll damage us too with radiation!!, and beside we only have so many til we get back to the AlphaQuadrant!!!!
and theyre all like
'But the phasers have been rerouted through the warp drive! we cant fire while we're at warp.. thats why i countermanded your phaser order!'
Keep in mind these conversations take place when i'm alone.

I believe you're thinking of "The Nth Degree". There were no comments about firing a torpedo close to the ship in "Q Who".
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I thought it was the episode where Alexander came to live with Worf, and the little laddie was caught in the biolab with the worm-things. The Enterprise needed to fire torpedoes to dissipate a wave, but gaps in the shielding caused the biolab to be open to radiation damage.

Well, with the conversation going on in his head, it's no wonder why there was an error.

Ah... this might be the perfect tool to reduce road rage! Because all of the idiots who are too slow/stupid get blown off the highway. And after a while, no one would dare drive like a madman for fear of getting blown away themselves.
I've occasionally wished for something similar, but not nearly such a high caliber. A hood-mounted dart rifle would be fine, to blow out the tires of the asshole who just cut me off.

Hey, at least Captain Mike's car isn't a BMW that's geared up like James Bond's car including condom dispensers, champagne bottle chillers, and surface to air missle launchers.
