Hey do you remember when Rick Nielsen played that 5-neck Hamer on stage with Cheap Trick? It was pretty much a 'gee whiz' type of exhibition, but also kind of cool when he reached all the way to the bottom neck.
Lol, if thats gee wiz check this out. He pretty much just tapped on different necks, and he'd switch necks alot, play behind his neck, and he had a zz-top style belt so he could spin it.

Its impossible to be a pre-pubescent adolescent, you cannot become an adolescent until you start puberty.

Sorry if I sound like a health teacher lol. But I know what you mean, the forum states you must be at least 13 years of age when you sign up, unfortunately the boards are still riddled with 11 and 12 year olds.

11 and 12 year olds? I think that's being a tad generous. Im sure there are some people on this board that have yet to hit double figures.

Anyway, back to the thread...

Automatic windscreen wipers - if you can't see that it's raining you really shouldn't be on the road!

Run flat tyres - learn how to change a wheel, it's not rocket science.

Vending machines - pay twice the reccomended retail price, and watch as your purchase dangles from the edge of the rack, refusing to drop (despite repeated kicks)

Poor ride quality? Not re-useable? Probably cost about the same as four regular tyres?

I'd rather spend 10 minutes changing a wheel thanks. I guess they would be useful however if the driver was physically incapable of changing a wheel.
