Ah, the old school electric car cigarette lighter. Also known as "The curious child's first learning experience with the concept of 'hot' "
How many noses have fallen to its lure?
Fingertips for me, lol.
Same here. I was playing with the little cover thing, accidentally got it stuck, and the plastic handle started to melt off. Burnt the tips of my fingers trying to get it fixed.
I learned the hard way that
it still worked even if the car was off and
even if you pop it out early, perhaps thinking it's not working, it can still be hot enough to burn you even if it isn't red hot like you normally see it.
Ash trays in all the passenger doors. AKA mini trash cans.
Ohhhh shit so that's what they were? As a kid I used to see them as mini cup holders.
Eh, I just took it out to plug in my Game Boy/Game Gear.
