What birthday present to offer your sibling "who has it all"?

Your mother's voice patched in his/her car navigation system.

Costs nothing to make, just take your parents out for a drive and let your mother read the directions from a map. Record the conversations from the back seat and choose the most hilarious phrases. Next you need cooperation from your sibling's partner for a cover to get access to the car navigation system software unnoticed.

When you give the present you just hand over an envelope with a destination which is difficult to find. Make sure to bring a camcorder when you all 'go get the present'. It is not the destination that counts, it is what happens along the way... (The DVD of that ride is a present for your mom's birthday).

I look forward to the comments!

Navtones.com sells the Tomtom voices http://www.navtones.../viewforum.php?f=1&
there is a 'wanted voices' forum called 'Your voice', but nothing about how to make your own custom voice, apparently it needs to be hacked still [rrr, Oct 19 2006]

"You call that a stop?"

"Turn that noise down! How can you even think with that noise going? "

Or overdub the voice of a friend in the trunk? [link]

I want one with the voice of Kitt from "Knightrider". It would keep calling me Michael, and upon arriving at my destination, would play the theme tune.

[jtp] inspired - I don't know if it's been done already, but there would certainly be a market for the sculpted tones of William Daniels coming out of your GPS.
