Top 10 Outrageous Car Options
While Bluetooth devices have become a useful and highly coveted automotive accessory, not all automotive innovations have basked in the same success. Hagerty Insurance researched dozens of eccentric inventions to come up with the top 10 quirkiest and most outrageous options ever invented for automobiles.
1. Automatic Lit Cigarette Dispenser: As a “safety” item, this was an aftermarket accessory designed to eliminate the distractions of lighting a cigarette while motoring down the road. The option was unveiled in the late 1940s.
2. Highway Hi-Fi (16 2/3 LP Player): This option was developed in 1955 and was offered as an option on 1956 Chrysler models. The drawback was in the performance of the record player while encountering the smallest of bumps, slamming on the brakes or taking a fast corner.
3. Destroilet: An optional “Destroilet” gas incinerator-type toilet was available for early 1960s Dodge motor homes. After use, when the top lid was closed, a small, thick metal lid would also close over the well at the bottom. A jet of burning gas would incinerate the solid waste and vaporize the liquid. A chimney to the outdoors carried the vapors away.
4. Electric Shaver: An electric shaver that was powered by a vehicle’s electrical system was developed in the 1940s and was an option for a 1957 Chevrolet.
5. Automotive Swamp Cooler: These were popular from the late 1940s through the 1950s to help cool the interior of cars before air conditioning systems became readily available. Swamp Coolers were available through the aftermarket and attached to one of the car’s windows. The theory was simply to cool by evaporation. There was a reservoir for cool water, a wick to soak it up, and it relied on air movement from traveling down the road to force cooled air into the interior of the vehicle.
6. Steam Pressure Cooker: This accessory mounted to the rear bumper to cook food while motoring down the road.
7. Steering Wheel Watch: In 1958 a steering-wheel-mounted watch was available on DeSotos.
8. Trafficators: Back in the days before flashing turn signals, a driver would flip a switch on the dash and a lit semaphore arm would swing out of a panel on the appropriate side of the car and signal the driver’s intention to turn.
9. Swivel Seats: These seats, available on a 1959 Chrysler, would automatically swivel out as the door opened to make it easier for the passenger to exit the automobile.
10. Talking Car: In the early 1980s, the Chrysler LeBaron literally talked, saying phrases like “Your door is ajar,” “All monitored systems functioning,” and “Please fasten your seatbelt.” The cars with the taped voice were produced for only three years before Chrysler discovered that consumers didn’t like a car talking back to them.

A 375-pound bear was rescued from drowning in the Gulf of Mexico. The large bear had wandered into a neighborhood of the Florida panhandle community of Apalachicola over the weekend when it was hit by a tranquilizer dart shot by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists. But it managed to escape and bolt into the ocean before the sedation went into effect. That was when biologist Adam Warwick jumped into the water to save the bear from drowning. He managed to get the beast to shore, where a backhoe loaded it on a truck. The bear was then relocated to Osceola National Forest.

Flint, Michigan's new police chief is saying no to crack. Acting Flint Police Chief David R. Dicks announced that officers will begin arresting people wearing pants or shorts that sag too low, exposing rear ends. The crackdown on buttocks is an apparent response to "significant" complaints from citizens, according to Dicks. Under the chief's orders, any sworn officer who sees "sagging/exposing buttocks" will have probable cause to make an arrest under the city's disorderly person ordinance -- a misdemeanor punishable by a 500-dollar fine and three months in jail.
