I watched Transformers again last night and I was just thinking: would you get in the car?

(Yes.)

eta: this doesn't just apply to Transformers and that one situation, it's more of an "if an event happened where you had to decide to 'get in the car' or not what would you do?"

ETA: DAMN IT GUYS I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT TRANSFORMERS SPECIFICALLY

I mean "would you get in the car?" in the same way as "which pill would you take?" (Matrix). It applies to any situation like that. Not "if a strange man in a car asked you to get in would you" but "if you were in a film-type situation where you could do a and be involved in b or do c and not be involved in b."

:(

I wouldn't. I would be mightily suspicious if a car drove up to me, without a driver. And then invited me in...
 
I don't mean "if a car was suddenly next to you would you get in," I mean "if an event (such as Bumblebee fighting that Decepticon) happened and you witnessed it, would you get in the car afterward?"

You can take this to mean anything, really. Like would you take the pill to leave the Matrix or whatever. ALL SORTS OF THINGS LIKE THIS.

Oh, now you put it like that. Still no. I would be shit scared if I saw saw my car turn into a giant robot!
 
I don't get all these no answers. :( I mean it's a thrill to not know what will happen and I mean... do you really want to be there twenty years later looking back at that instant, regretting your decision to [not do x]?
 
I seriously don't know. It would depend entirely what was going on, like events leading up to it etc.

Another question is would you do the opposite and look into the Men in Black's red flashy thing?

Although if some shady stranger asks you to get in their car for no particular reason, chances are you won't be able to look back at anything in twenty years... I mean, you can't assume it's going to be like in the movies, can you?

But if we do assume that it's going to be like in the movies, then the obvious answer is yes, because I'd be the good guy.
 
okay, so we picture ourselves as the main dude from the Transformers movie and Bumblebee, after fighting a Decepticon, offers to take you for a ride

Hell, Yeah! i'd do anyhing to my life to make something actually happen
so hell yeah
 
Depends. Am I briefed on why I should get in first? If so yes. If I don't get told anything then no, I wouldn't get in the car.
 
...I'm sorry to spoil everyone's fun or whatever, but I really have no idea what you're actually on about, having never seen Transformers. So, uh, could someone possibly explain?
 
I have no idea what film this is from. XD

But yeah, I wouldn't get in to any car. o_o Ever since I was a kid I've peered at my mum and the car's number plate to completely make sure that it's my mum before getting in.

Anyone putting 'yes' is really quite a moron. Then again I haven't seen this film so it's probably some sort of meme thing I don't quite get as usual.

Its the normal movie situation. Would you go into the fight? I would, (in the transformers situation anyway.)
