"PinterestFacebookI&amp;#39;m not much of a car person, so when publicists send over news about the latest hot car on the market, I tend to hit delete--fast. But, when I heard about one new car&amp;#39;s built-in seat massage system, I was totally hooked...\n****Many of us spend way to much time in our cars--in traffic. According to a University of California study, the average driver spends 101 minutes per day on the road. Ugh! I hate that at certain rush-hour times of the day, it can take as long as one hour to drive just 10 miles across town here in Seattle.\nWhile I don&amp;#39;t do a lot of driving (one of the joys of working from home), the times I&amp;#39;ve gotten stuck on the road have made me dream about some of the fantasy, healthy features I&amp;#39;d love to see car makers add to our vehicles. Besides fuel-efficiency options, of course, I&amp;#39;ve often thought that cars should come equipped with:\n*Back massage chairs, just like the kind in Brookstone.\n*Little mini-fridges up front to keep your drinks and healthy snacks cold (alright, so maybe some luxury cars offer this already--I have no idea)\n*Better air-filtration systems so you never, ever have to breathe in the exhaust of the truck in front of you\nBut, it looks like the back-massage option may be coming to a car dealership near you. The 2010 Ford Taurus will offer massaging &amp;quot;multi-contour&amp;quot; seats, which have been designed with the help of back pain specialists and orthopedic surgeons. Ford says the seats may &amp;quot;help prevent back pain.&amp;quot;\nHere&amp;#39;s how they work: The seat contains air cushions that pad the driver and passenger&amp;#39;s entire back, including three for lumbar support, three for lateral support and four for the seat pad. The bottom cushion features &amp;quot;Active Motion&amp;quot; technology, which provides both front seats with a soft, continuous massage.\nWould you go for a car that had back-massaging seats? What other healthy features would you like to see in a car?\nP.S. Do you have any car-fueled self-esteem issues? I&amp;#39;ll get right to the question: Would you ever feel funny about driving a minivan?\nGet Glamour Wherever You Go! Follow us on Twitter. Friend us on Facebook.
