I agree. I’m dreading the CPS knocking on my door.
Remember when we were kids, we had entertain ourselves by looking out the car window? This was long before cars and trucks had “entertainment” systems,and mobile phones were carried around in a backpack. Whenever the family went cruising in the Olds (what I refer to as “Oldsmobiling”) the kids always fought over the cell phone charger. In another cruel shortsighted engineering blunder, the Big 3 rarely had more than one cigarette lighter in their cars. However, I had a brainstorm moment worthy of MyGuyver. I installed usb chargers in the backseat ashtrays. With the lid closed, they are invisible.
I’m at work now, so I can’t post pics. Whenever I go to car shows or cruises, people always comment on the chargers, especially the younger kids.
Unfortunately, I take that as a bad omen for the future of our hobby. A kid at a car show is looking at a classic 60s muscle car with factory cold air induction, big tires, aluminum heads, rowdy roller cam, and a stack of low 11 second timeslips, and they ask about the USB charger.
