In a valiant effort to make my Buick Park Avenue Type R, Type S, SiR, GTR with nitrous stickers even sillier than it already is, I came across Sparkoo.com. They’re selling some device that emits sparks from underneath the car. I want mine to have all the cool gadets like this, but I’m unwilling to pay $300 for it. Does anyone have any idea what these are?
I think its just a firestarter rod (magnesium perhaps?), a dremel-style abrasive wheel, and a spring to keep the rod pressed to the abrasive.
You got any pics of the car? I wanna see this! Not related to the spark-maker, but if you wanna get really crazy, you can nail rain gutters to the underside as an ultra-cheap body kit…that’s pretty silly looking. Ranking a little lower on the I’m-a-dumbshit scale, get some Ferrari fender badges. I see a 4-door '90 Accord with the prancing horse on a yellow shield in front of the door every now and then, gets cooler every time.
The Sparkoo refills look like oversized flints, as in what’s in a cigarette lighter. The whole concept is just a little dorky for my taste, although it’ll look just fine on a Buick with a bent wing and spray-painted SHO.
Don’t forget to spray-paint the brake drums bright red so passers-by will think they’re Brembo.
