This is a simple survey. What sort of stuff does your car have, that’s not stock in any way, shape, or form? Could be a weird dealer installed option, could be something the owner had equipped. For me, my car has one thing you never see.

That thing in the back, yeah, that’s a spoiler. On a Cadillac. Apparently, this car was outfitted with this at the dealer it was sold at way back when. I’ve never seen any other Eldorado of this vintage with a spoiler on it, and I sure as hell never even heard of it as a dealer option. My car is the only one I know of that has it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So Oppo, what about your weird stuff on your car?

An extra cupholder in the console was a dealer accessory option. It hooks inside the console wall.

I’ve got a MOMO racing wheel on my otherwise stock Sentra

I installed a switch under my dash that locks the torque converter and drops my rpm by 300ish at highway speeds.... then again nothing really left on the car is factory.

My car has an extra 12 volt outlet under the passenger seat so you can charge your phone without taking up all that precious lighter and ashtray space.

My truck has a bottle opener on the inside of the bed, just inside the tailgate. Because tailgating.

Nice car.

Also, your neighbor across the street seems cool.

My pickup has an oil pressure gauge, and all I can ask is: why don’t all cars come with this? It’s great!

My Abarth has the Tributo Ferrari stripes, which I don't think were an option in the US. I've had to have body work done and they always end up needing custom work. Makes my car very easy to spot!

I’ve never seen a 4Runner with the same wheels. I think they were TRD options but I’ve never seen another set.

Some weird backup thingie that is dying a slow death. When I engage reverse something electronic shrieks. Not always and not consistently when it does, also the shriek sounds like whatever is doing it is past its sell by date, like a blown speaker or so. Maybe it was supposed to warn the driver that he engaged reverse, maybe it was a cheap parking sensor (no visible sensors on the rear bumper), I don’t know. I never really investigated it and just live with it. As it is only in reverse and not even permanent, I actually find it somewhat entertaining.

PO installed an full audio/visiul mount on the dash for satellite radio/dvd player. I never use those two cords, but the setup included two aux cords that I use a ton.

Also, loving those Mercs.

Bright green stripe down the side, bright green calipers and an SHO decklid. All of this on a broken down 98 Taurus. It was about to receive some led interior lights when the head gasket blew.

Somewhere in the 80’s the owner installed a rather good and fast looking bodykit.

... On a 80 HP Toyota.

You can adjust the temperature on my Mazdaspeed3, but you can’t see what you’re setting it as unless you turn the fan on.

A welded diff filler plug.

8 new speakers that were never wired.

A torqued the fuck down fuel filter.

A semi-permanent Carolina Squat, because for some reason the air suspension on the rear is never at the same level as the front. Citroen can’t fix it

For one, I have a ton of wiring, some of it still hot, which simply ends. Everywhere. In the trunk, under the dash, tucked under the flooring, under the hood, red wires everywhere. And some coaxial stuff that looks like it’s for a GPS antenna. I think there’s a DB-9 connector in the trunk, no idea where the other end of that cable is.

My DD ‘09 Accent has two 12-volt outlets in the front on the dash, which I always found different in a basic, but reliable economy car...one for a cigarette lighter with a fake lighter plug in it and one actually labelled 12-volt outlet! I use both, one for my FM a Transmitter/USB Charger, and one for my USB-charged mini emergency flashlight! :)

My tahoe has a hitch receiver under the front bumper. When I’m adventuring, a winch goes there. When I’m not adventuring, it looks weird.

The rear windows on my m3 open weird.

My z06 has an emergency rear hatch release so you dont get stuck and die if the battery goes dead while youre inside.

The backs of the rear seats in my 911 fold down to make a little shelf thing.

My vw bus has the biggest steering wheel in the world.

My Bronco has a moose skull mounted on the grille.

My Suburban has Mexican Serapi seat covers.

The steering wheel of my explorer has liquified and begun to drip onto the seat.

My cts has a hidden compartment in the dash behind the ac and radio controls.
