I Can Drive 55 — audio speedometer

In the 80's, Sammy Hagar couldn't drive 55. If you can drive exactly 55 MPH, you'll hear him singing about it. Drive too slow or too fast, and the music will slow down or speed up.

Sequencer and sampler with playback speed that's tied to your physical speed as reported by GPS. Great motivator for bicycling and running, or an alternative to the dashboard if you're driving blind.
