The Most Ridiculous Car Accessories Of All Time (PHOTOS)

Cars are an extension of our personal space, so what you decide to do with yours is totally up to you. Unfortunately, a lot of people decide to do these things to their cars, which are either distracting, obnoxious, or just plain ridiculous. Perhaps a mustache for your grill, a french fry holder for your dash, or an incredibly loud, whistling muffler aren't sending the best message about the driver inside. On the other hand, maybe seeing that sanctimonious bumper sticker is a good thing - Like a free warning to avoid the man or woman behind the wheel.

I think the "bumper nuts" (or trailer hitch balls) fad is declining...because they look like bull (or human) testicles, some straight men would not put these on their vehicle because other drivers may interpret the "balls" as being gay. Also, I think some municipalities prohibit displaying those, due to it being considered "obscene"...thinking that some family would be offended by seeing "bull balls" on the back of a truck. The "fake vents" hearkens back to a time when Buicks had these on their hoods...when Buicks still used straight-8 engines, they were functional, but they evolved into trim pieces when V-8's (and sixes on some models) were used. I recall that the LeSabre used 3 "vents" per fender, while the Electra 225 used 4 "vents". Buick recently brought those "ventiports" (which GM used to call them) back as trim on their Lacrosse and Lucerne models. Some cars look good with the fake vent ports, while others look ridiculous. As for the interior neon on the floor, I assume that the vehicle pictured is driven only in nice weather, or never driven, but towed to car shows. If your shoes are wet, those neon lights could easily be short circuited out. One past "auto accessory" fad was the ubiquitous "Baby On Board" signs, which started out as a safety item by inventor Safety 1st, but evolved into messages such as "Mother-In-Law In Trunk", "Nobody On Board", "Beer Builds Better Bodies", among other messages.

So stoned, driving on the wrong side of the road, and blowing off a stop sign all in one video. You expect them to care if you don't like their Woo-woo?

The whistle tip people make me shake my head. Really? As a driver it would give me a headache. I hope they all got major major fines.

Other day I saw a 25 year old Lada 1500 with a wing and full ground effects, neon chassis lighting, and speakers the size of shopping carts. 300$ car with 5000$ in junk tacked on.

Hey those fender vents are real...that is the side of the Buick Lucerne...

Buicks are the few cars which still have those as standard features....

The new Buicks are cool...........

As for the other cars with the "stick on" fender vents...that is really unnecessary

Speaking of the french fry holder, I wonder if they plan to make a hamburger holder that can be placed on front of the steering wheel and a cup holder that can also be placed in front of the steering wheel.
