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!
I Think Ford Motor Co. Is Trying To Kill Me
What’s the lesson to be learned from this? That’s right, smoking is BAD!
And so are Fords.
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.
