I Think Ford Motor Co. Is Trying To Kill Me

I recently had a bit of a struggle with the cigarette lighter in my ’02 Taurus (yes, that Taurus), wherein it refused to release a cellphone car charger. After a good bit of tugging, it finally let go its quarry, leaving me redfaced from the exhertion.
Today, while out on an errand, I decided to test out the lighter with the actual cigarette lighter. I pushed the button in and, around 30 seconds later, the cigarette lighter shot out of its housing and onto my front passenger seat. As I have no particular reason to desire a red-hot piece of metal burning holes in my upholstery, I quickly grabbed the lighter (the non-red end, thankfully) and held it aloft until cool.
I hope you appreciate the lengths I go to in an to attempt to amuse you, with the potential for physical damage and burnination. I’m doing my own stunts here, people!

Dude you just need to get a bike, a nice harmless bike, and a helmet, because from our history as friends you and cars don’t mix.
