Car Accessories – A Top Ten
After my last post, where I had a bit of a snigger about some of the stupidest car accessories I’ve ever seen, I thought it was probably about time that we had a look at some good ones.
Of course, when it comes to compiling a top ten list of good accessories, it’s not easy. There are so many different types of motorist in the world. What is a brilliant idea for one type of driver is a real waste of time and money for another driver. So if I’ve left one of your absolute “must haves” off the list, apologies in advance – and let the world know what it is and why you like it in the comments section.
Accessories Not on My Wish List
I must admit I’ve still got a long face since I heard the news about the Ford Falcon getting the chop in 2016, so here’s something a little different to bring a smile. Here are some of the funniest and most ridiculous car accessories available for us all to buy – if you want to.
The world’s most stupid car accessory goes to a group in China. We all know how car occupant safety is paramount, so why would a group of individuals come up with the idea of designing a seat-belt shirt? I almost feel naked when I don’t wear my seatbelt in the car – particularly when I’m not the one driving! Some people obviously go to great lengths to avoid making it click, and that’s why the seatbelt shirt was invented. The seatbelt shirt has a diagonal black stripe that runs from the left shoulder down to the right hip or from the right shoulder down to the left hip, and this makes it look like you are wearing your seatbelt when you’re senseless enough to not be wearing it. Talk about jumping out of a plane without a parachute!
A Ford Driver’s Personal Reaction To Ford Australia’s Bad News
The bomb hit us all on Friday. Ford Australia is going to stop production altogether in 2016 and is shutting down the engine plant in Geelong and the assembly plant in Broadmeadows. I’m well aware that there are probably sound financial reasons for this move and is probably something to do with the whole global village thing, but I’m still gutted. I guess many other folk are, too, especially if they (a) were working for Ford Australia and are now out of a job and (b) were proud to drive an Aussie-made Ford.
