Features SnowBlowers Should Have

I've only had the opportunity to use my snowblower twice, but here are features I already miss. - Coffee Mug Holder
I bought a two-stage snow blower, so I can go in a straight line and walk behind it, but I have to hold my coffee.
- 7" LCD TV w/Headphones
Sometimes you HAVE to go out and blow because you have to drive somewhere. I already missed the morning news once, what will I miss next, a re-run of ALF.
- Laser Guidance
You've seen those laser levelers to make sure you go in a straght line when hanging pictures on the wall. Why the hell don't we have one of those on our snow blowers.
- Snow Ball Attachment
Sure we can shoot snow 50 feet in the air, but why can't they make the snow pass out in little snow $#%*. The kids would love it and you'd never lose a snow ball fight.
- Automatic Mode
You've all seen those little vacuum cleaners that just keep going around the living room until its all vacuumed up. Why not on our snow blowers - turn it on and check on it after an hour. Sure you'll waste a little extra gas, but give that sucker enough time, and the whole neighborhood will be cleared.
- Remote Start
Our cars have it, so they can get warmed up, but not our snow blowers. Start it up while inside the house and come out 10 minutes later when the engine is nice and warm.
- Small Pet Detector
How many times has a small cat or dog been caught in the augers. We put little sensors on the back of our minivans to see if a small child is behind it, but the thousands of small animals that get chewed up are neglected. PETA will be on this soon!
- Blue-Ray headlights
If you buy the BMW of snowblowers, why do you get a standard halogen bulb. Those super bright blue ones should be standard
These are just a few of my complaints. I'm certain as time goes on I'll find a lot more.

I'm all in favor of free speech, but for myself only I wish I had the ability to send this subject to **Ashcanistan** so I wouldn't have to see it again. Is that a feature that could be built in Abby's, I wonder?

Hydrolic skid shoes and I recall someone on this board attached a valve to his machine to make oil changes easier. That should be standard on all machines.
