I've never really understood the whole concept of cars in Second Life. Jet packs, starships, even plain old planes I can wrap my mind around. Boats, too. But cars? Well, to each their own, I guess. Regardless of my understanding why they exist (and sell popularly for big bucks,) they are here to stay.

Now they are here for real.

iMagicLab is opening a customer center in Second Life. Now, this means you can connect to a Real Life car dealer in SL locally down the road or across the world. Supposedly, you'll actually be able to shop for a new RL car in SL.

Okay, when I bought my last truck, I tried to shop for it online through the plain old web. It turned out to be a nightmare. But, that was eight years ago. Things are far better today. And now, from withing SL, you'll soon enough be able to shop models and perhaps 'test-drive' one.

I know, I'm laughing out of my chair, too.
