The Three Most Useless Things That Come With A Car

  Some cars come with cool bells and whistles while they also come with two useless things, valet keys and the cigarette lighters. So why are they useless?
  Let's start off with the valet key. Face it do you know where your valet key is since you bought your new car. If not that pretty much explains why it is useless. The valet key is practically lost the day the car is bought. People seem to put the 3rd key away somewhere and forget where they put it when they go to trade the car in. In addition to being lost, people just don't even use the key when they get the car valet parked. Yeah it pretty much defeats it's purpose if people don't use the Valet key when they get there car valet parked.
   Now onto the cigarette lighter. The cigarette lighter is one of those things that nobody uses, execpt for the jack that you can plug a GPS system in or cell phone charger. That's what the cigarette lighter outlet is used for not for smoking. I don't smoke so I don't use the cigarette lighter that comes with the car. I can assure you that people who smoke in their cars don't use the car's cigarette lighter. Years ago Subaru stopped putting cigarette lighters in their cars but keeping the outlet and replacing the cigarette lighter with a plastic dummy. I think the Subaru Forrester still has the dummy cigarette lighter while others have a regular lighter.
  On a side note let's add the ashtray as well. People who smoke in their cars NEVER use the ashtray that comes with the car. What do they do? they open their window and hold the cigarette out the window and flick ashes out the window, not the ashtray. What is the ashtray good for then? Storage for toothpicks and pieces of gum.
