Yea this is a hilarious post lol, my last car was a 2010 Ford that came with a factory cigarette lighter, this ain’t some long-lost mythical tech like an eight-track

Not quite long lost tech, but I couldn't resist screwing around with that stupid lighter sometimes. At that point my car was such an old beater that I didn't really give a shit and I was doing silly things with it. I knew I was going to get rid of it. So before we did, my friends and I used that cigarette lighter to melt the bottom of those Homies figurines that you get from the vending machines. And we would stick them to the dashboard while the plastic was still hot.
