iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer

Posted by timothy on from the all-the-trimmings dept.

Johnny Mozzarella writes "MacWorld has a nice write-up on Jesse Melchior, an amateur special effects artist and filmmaker, who used his skills to create a custom installation that is worthy of an iPod mini. The article outlines the materials he used such as latex, plaster and dental acrylic to create an integrated dock complete with blue LEDs and Apple logo in his Ford Explorer."

    Someone took the already ugly concept of ground effects (neon lights under the car) and put them in the car. I'll pass, thanks. And that big silver bump, it's an eyesore. But, to each his own I guess.

    This is just another way to have more pileups on the interstate. Why can't people toss all these things in the back and focus on driving?

    That iPod mini will sound great while he's flipping over in the inherently unsafe vehicle that is the Ford Explorer.

  5. Ugly and tacky by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Combining the tackyness of the iPod with the uglyness of the Ford Explorer interior -- a double strike combined attack on good taste.

    This is not a troll. This whole install looks grafted and cheap.

    Don't you think?

    Well, gosh! Thanks for expressing it again! I'm far too stupid to have figured that out myself. Thanks for shining your bewildering light of wisdom into my teeny teeny brain.

    Actually, you end up with somebody else's beat up truck, which has 276,000 miles on it. Your original truck still had the sticker in the window, and 1,300 miles on the odometer.
