And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've got one in my 2003 Ford Ranger. I use it to hang my air freshener on. I haven't thought about it in a coon's age. You got me curious, so I went outside and checked to see if it still works. It does!
I'll never forget the designs I made in my Dad's brand new 1955 Ford Custom on the plastic insert covering the radio delete (it DID have a heater, though). I thought he might put those designs on my butt, however, he only used his hand for spanking.
I tested one with my tongue in my dad's '54 Studebaker wagon when I was a wee lad. It was a pretty cherry red, and burned my tongue, so I tossed it out the window...that'll teach 'em to leave me alone in the car..
Same here. Mom left me in the car to go shopping. I burnt myself, but was afraid to tell her because I knew I would get in trouble. Good opportunity to learn stoicism.
I had a 2015 Dodge Caravan that had one. It came with one of the option packages and was called the "smokers kit", which also included an ashtray that went into one of the cup holders. I don't smoke so it was never used.
My older brother was loaded on psychadelics and whiskey in 1970. Absent mindedly put one out on his leg while wearing cutoffs. 3/8 of an inch deep burn hole? It’s been 50 + years
I just replaced the old one in my truck

Lights the smokes, banned a long time ago in newer cars
ReplyDeleteMy 2002 Durango doesn't have one but you could stick one in the "Power Outlet". Amazon has 'em. Unfortunately, I quit on Jan. 13, 1975 at 3:40PM.

ReplyDeleteI still have a brand new one that came with a new truck I bought in 2006.
ReplyDeleteI've got a perfect scar on my forearm from one of those. Older brother got his butt beat for that.

ReplyDeleteMy 2006 GMC Sierra pick-up has one, but it is pristine, as I gave up 'the Devil's Weed' in 1998 before the birth of our 1st child.
ReplyDeleteooh,ooh, i know this one. it's for snorting "roaches"
ReplyDeleteHash pipe
DeleteNot big enough for many cigars
ReplyDeleteI had that same imprint on my thumb whey I was about 6 or 7

ReplyDeleteIt's a detonator for a car bomb.
ReplyDeleteIt's a hole punch. Works great on both vinal and leather.
ReplyDeleteI had a '76 Lincoln that had ashtrays and lighters on every door. They were chrome. It was a nice car, too bad it only got about 10mpg.

ReplyDeletei used the one in my '64 Ford Econoline to burn the very last part of a roach.
ReplyDeleteMy older daughter used it as a nose warmer in cold weather. I kept waiting, but she never burned her nose.
