Virtually, maybe. Literally, no.

The tools at Vehix.com are a great idea. But I'm tired of hearing the one woman on their TV commercial saying that going to the site means, "You're literally driving the car." Later in the same commercial she says, "You're practically driving the car." I'll go along with the word "practically" but not with the word "literally". That's just not true and is an incorrect usage of the word. I hope the folks at Vehix.com will realize their error and alter that commercial's one scene.
