    スーパーヴィジェット  - umm how does Super Widget translate to Super Bee Jet?? That's what my translator says, anyway!

    For starters theres no Japanese "V" syllables and they can't pronounce "V"s so modern kana resorts to ヴ (vu) + ィ which is vi or spoken as bi since "B" sounds the closest to "V". "wi" is another nonexistant syllable so they improvised with a "vi." Vijetto doesn't make sense so the translator probably thought "Bee" (which sounds like "vi") Jet (Jetto is the katakanization of Jet as well.)

    I know it's Super Widget because I've watched the show and played the game ;)

    That has to be the most gay shit, almost as tasteless as the acclaim ads after 9/11 with a fucking flag and pic of the towers in them.

    Is it just me or does it look like that flag in the picture is on fire?

    Not a bad price, but note that it doesn't have the Navi screen, nor the GPS Antenna. So, you can't use it as a (big, clunky) GPS system.

    Looks like the material my grandmother used to make blankets out of. Comfortable as hell, but I wouldn't put it around my SFC. :)
