Got a serious question. This guy at my office drives a tricked out subaru with all of the racing shit that any backwards-cap wearing guy would want..

When he parks his car, he leaves it runnning, with the lights on .. and then it all shuts down automatically after about five minutes.

I assume that's to let it cool down before it shuts off .. although, since it isn't a turbo, I'm not sure if that even makes sense .. but how hot could the engine be, that this would be necessary?

OK, after typing this, I don't really have a serious question, but I typed it, so someone should see it.

What's your favorite (or "favorite") car accessory?

I thought nearly all Subarus had turbos? (I could be wrong there)

I'm kind of boring. best accessory = towbar.

how about stupidest add-ons? Those spoked hubcaps that keep rotating after the car has stopped moving =

.... the stupidest thing I think I've ever seen on a car.

The bit of plastic you wrap round your Fiesta to make it look closer to the ground.

Spinners are my FAVORITE retarded car accessory, followed closely by ground fx (where there's like crazy woohoo black lights under your car woah).

As far as accessories I would actually HAVE on a car I drive: I like those multipurpose kayak/bike/canoe type racks that go on top.

I saw a car the other day with a luminous green underlight. Made it look like aliens had stolen a Nova and turned it into a hovercar.

tacks that spill out of the back of your car to pop other's tires
little buzzsaws that come out of the rims to shred other's tires
ejection seat
actual fire coming out of back of tailpipe
autopilot mode
car talks to you, helps you fight crime
monkey sidekick
speakers on top so friend can broadcast details of drag race in Howard Cosell voice
automatic "Bad to the Bone" blasts whenever driver emerges

A while ago, I saw one of those pseudo-hummer things, the one thats really just some lincoln luxo-barge or whatever w/a fake military bodyshell welded on top. It had spinners, lights unter the wheel arches, underlights, led windscreen wiper jets etc etc. it was, w/o any shadow of a doubt, a KNOB'S CAR.
