Over 16 minutes on an obscure accessory for the most unde sirable model of the ( Australian) Ford Falcon. Co mplete with ba d CGI.
Admittedly, it’s a particularly silly accessory , which makes it youtube-worthy. But still, this level of OCD seem s just a smidge excessive.

I’ve never heard “
trainspotter” used as an adjective to describe an extended and in-depth geekout over something uninteresting, but it fits. Reminds me of all the Instagram accounts I’ve found with people going hardcore fanboy over mid-90's Luminas and Buick Centurys

I dunno. If you are genuinely interested in a Ford AU Falcon Mobile Office Pack, my prediction is “heroin in your future”...

Are there really people going hardcore fan boy over ‘90s Luminas? I mean I could understand loving it and not being ashamed of what others think, but full fan boys suggests a sort of edge that I don’t understand.
It’d be like me saying I love the Sienna and acting like an ass to anyone who pointed out some of it’s more obvious shortcomings..

If I had invented this, I think I would have tried to shape it a little more obnoxiously so that it wouldn’t fit at all unless the shifter was in Park. No warning labels necessary!

HubNut has also picked up one of these things. He’s very much a “trainspotter” too:

Lacks quite a bit of heroin to be trainspottery

Here’s just a few of the accounts that I know follow me, all of them have more than 1000 followers themselves. They’re not defensive or in denial of how boring or crappy of the cars that they love are, the more embrace it. So I guess they’re not fanboys in that sense

In that case, it makes perfect sense. (at least to me)

Apparently it does to a lot of people. I’ve always thought of these cars as boring old junk but I guess there are people who whip out their camera phones when they see an
Oldsmobile Achieva.
