The inside trunk unlock button, has to been in the top three.

no no, those are good for burning people, at least that's what my sister used it for

:evil glare at sister: :mad:

Fuzzy Dice! :eek: wait... are we talking stock or aftermarket? :confused:

seatbelt

Hmm. Poll didn't show up.

seatbelt....no---feeding tube

NMO have you sucked us into your time warp thingy again :confused:

The can of gunk in the tire repair kit. The one where you are admonished to throw your tire away after use, never mind if the tire could have been repaired.

This poll took me 30 minutes to choose. They were all tough. Funny how the bottom three choices are choosen the most. We oughta start a poll on polls.

Sorry. I even caused BlueEyes to double post, too. I don't know what happened. I was just scanning the board while I modified this old DeLorean ...

ditto

zoom-zoom sticker :D

Sticker

Fart Cans

spare tire kit unless you want to kill 2 birds with one stone because it acts as a strut brace also

I agree. those things are so freakin stupid. I wish I had one on MY car! then i would be cool like everyone else! (note sarcasim) :rolleyes:

doesn't the new beetle have a flower holder or something??

also the little "shelf" that's on some dashboards...yeah, that thing works, unless the car is moving.


and the best...I actually saw HUBCAP spinners the other day

A combination of two actions.

Debadging your car then putting a huge white sticker across the top of the windshield that reads the name of the maker of your car. What the heck is the point?!

so who wins ;)
Spinners.

I knew if I started a poll about the dumbest accessories, spinners would win.

But spinners came in a close second.

Geez who would've thought that would happen :rolleyes:

But seriously I was surprise spinners came in third and fourth :eek:

heated seats

i cant believe only 2 other people besides me think spiiners are teh dumbest... i mean come on how can 9 of you vote spinners when spinners(which i voted for) are clearly the dumbest

I agree with Nubo- heated seats
My buns are never cold

heated seats

You live in california! :p at -15F your butt will take any warmth it can get!

You obviously don't have a wife if you think heated seats are a dumb accessory. Keeps my wife quiet in winter, and allows me to have the air on in the summer without her getting cold and nagging me!

cigartte lighter

who the hell would smoke in their rx-8?

lighted shift knobs

My shift knobs came lighted, from the factory.

After driving today in Indiana, I think the turn signal is the dumbest accessory as it seems no one uses them. :)

strakes

Carbon Fiber

Agreed

Ditto!

I've seen the smirks on my co-workers face while I'm standing outside
freezing my nads off waiting for my 8 to warm-up.
I hate the smell of smoke in a car...

Oh,

and like I'm the only smoker here...

strakes

agreed, they are totally useless and gives the 8 a ricey look

Airvent bezel...

Strakes don't look ricey. Maybe krauty (see Mercedes SL's) or Crossfires...

The inside trunk unlock button, has to been in the top three.


those are very useful an i think they are necessary in some states unless im thinking of something different. its used if someone locks u in the trunk or something that u can escape

If the strakes weren't so freakishly expensive, I wouldn't have mentioned them. They are only dumb because they are so overpriced.

They should come with the car, or cost no more than $50. The fake strakes are OK.

Did anyone mention cell phones?

now whats a strake again lol

A cross between a spoon and a fork? No, thats a spork! I give up...

I always thought strake was a nautical term.

deer whistles

THe strakes are the little metal pieces on the air vents behind the front wheel wells. Aftermarket, unless they happened to be dealer installed.

Lol, I had to vote just to see which "spinners" got the most votes... :)
