Car makers go to great strides to offer the latest in useful gadgetry and customization options in their cars. For whatever reason, some people out there feel like those manufacturers just didn't take it far enough. These misguided souls ravenously seek gear to put in, on, and around their cars - perhaps in hopes of standing out in the crowd. However, it is pretty doubtful that the kind of attention these accessories get is the sort that they're seeking. 8. French Fry Cup Holder At which point does unhinged gluttony hit CRITICAL MASS? If french fries have been such a staple in your daily routine that you need a device for your car designed specifically to chow down on the go, it might be the time to reevaluate your dieting habits. This would be a great holiday gift for the guy in the senior yearbook who was voted "Most Likely to Get Diabetes". 7. Fake Hood Scoops Forty years ago, hood scoops were totally badass. By putting a vent (or more) in the hood to catch cold air, the engine could create more power by colder, denser air forced into the engine via the carburetor that's mounted on top of the engine. Not only did it serve a purpose, it looked awesome. That was then. Your typical modern air induction systems pull in air from the fender walls instead of from the center of the engine bay. So now, hood scoops are in nearly all cases, totally useless, which is why most modern ones are fake – simply a plugged vent on the hood or, even worse, a fake scoop that is actually glued on top of a normal hood. What a shame. 6. Neon Anything Okay seriously, what is the appeal here? What is the reason that people do this? Are they pretending that their car is a spaceship? A flying saucer from the planet Autozone? To "actually normal" people, it just looks like a hoopty with a bunch of raver paraphernalia glued to it. I like Tron as much as the next guy, but a Scion is not a lightcycle, and the amount of neon stuff you put on it is inversely proportional to its cool factor. 5. Televisions Can someone tell me who thought it was a good idea to put some telies into their cars? That guy really needs a donkey punch of biblical proportions. Why? When you're piloting a 1-5 ton chunk of metal at high speeds, the last thing you should be doing is catching up on Season 3 of Heroes. This is brain surgery compared to talking on the phone while driving. And yet, people wonder why traffic sucks all the time. Just turn off the TV and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE STUPID ROAD. 4. Lamborghini Doors Back in the '80s, crazy doors were the rage because of cars like the Delorean and the Countach, which looked new and futuristic at time. Now, even Lamborghini is over it. Yet there are people out there who still haven't gotten the message. More than anything, no one can't figure out what the draw is here. Those doors make getting into and out of your car ten times more of a pain in the buttcrack, because now, not only do you need clearance on the side of your car, but also above it as well. Remember this simple fact: LAMBO DOORS LOOK LAUGHABLY RIDICULOUS ON ANYTHING THAT IS NOT A LAMBORGHINI. 3. Oversized Spoilers Some people just happen to have that trend or compulsive need to exaggerate, and what do they take it on? Their car spoilers. Seriously, what were those retards thinking? They really thought that bigger wings would make their cars fly, huh? Instead, they managed to weigh down the rear end so that it will go slower than ever before, and it can no longer fit into highway tunnels and basement parking lots. Sure, spoilers are awesome, and they help your car handle high speeds better, but all of that is wasted if it happens to be taller than your car's own height. Congratulations. 2. Spinners THEY SPINN, THEEYYY SPIIINNNN!!! Ya dood, they be spinnin' and it's blowing your freaking mind, loozers! Actually, what's really blowing the mind is the amount of money that you just wasted on those gimmicky wheels. Call me crazy, but putting $5,000 rims on a $1,500 car seems like top shelf stupidity. Attempting to draw attention away from the fact that you drive a clapped-out 1989 Buick Riviera by slapping on some big shiny things on it seems less effective than just buying a nicer car. Also, that extra weight will further hinder your car's already poor performance. 1. Muffler Tips When this little piece of metal started getting welded to car exhaust pipes, it really became a metaphor for just how far narcissism within modern society could really go. Mercifully a pretty short-lived trend, the muffler tip is without a doubt the most ridiculous automotive accessory ever conceived. Ever. No kidding. Having no practical function, the muffler tip's sole purpose was to annoy people. I suppose in that regard it was pretty brilliant, since all it does is constantly emit a loud, deep, farting or burping-like sound from the car's exhaust pipe while it is in motion, giving rise to the term "fart cannon". Good times.
