It was an excellent cigar lighter but it's no bloody good for anything else. But apparently we're stuck with it. It wouldn't have been *quite* so bad if the makers of accessory plugs had made them latch into place the way the actual lighters do, but then we'd have had to take notice that they aren't actually standardized. And now car mfrs are putting in ones that won't even work for lighters. Bring back the silver socket! [/rant mode] d |
