John Delorean called it the Cocaine Tray, but they changed it to a ash tray by adding a cigarette lighter replacing the straw holder. Maaaan that Delorean knew how to party!! 😂
Today we call it entrapment, when you are approached with a crime, and a payout. And back then we did to. The pursuit of John DeLorean was a bit immoral. Today his property is Donald Trumps golf course. Back then it was a horse farm.
John was the nicest neighbor you could ask for. His property was used for the annual fox hunt, and he was a very good landlord. The coke in NJ, was out of control. Female drug dealers called LEO to protect their coke (Ironia NJ, and Butler NJ), and LEO would threaten anyone whom told them to stop cutting the coke in front of their kids (fentanyl?), and then the next day, the complainer would be attacked by one of the drug dealers, and LEO would be called again, where they threatened the victim again (so, the police were a party to the violence and racketeering). The corruption was right in your face. One LEO officer, was paid a commission for a sale for playground equipment for the town, but he made no other sales (he was not their salesman). It was a very expensive playground. After one of the same female drug dealers, was caught in the act of check-fraud, and ordered to pay it back. No arrest. She paid it back, and a neighbor, her cousin, then had check-fraud. There was even another opps, where there was more checkfraud, after they were caught, against the same accounts, and they paid that back as well (then the accounts were closed). One of the victims was in a comma, it's hard to close accounts, and reopen another, when they are in a comma. I'm not sure LEO cared about coke, as much as getting John.

@pj plays Gaming mehhh I've seen alot of people smoking now. Now I don't think vaping or smoking is cool and good, but smoking in my opinion is a healthier option because you know what's in a cigarette... you don't know what's in a vape.
I remember when my granddad got his MK 1 mondeo my favorite thing to do was sit with him in the parking lot, and set tissues alight with the lighter and then throw them out of the window. Good times
Back when I was working I car shop I didn't know dat this was a lighter thing tucht it and had yellow and black ring on my finger for god knows how long
I remember coming home from work one day, I didn’t smoke but had a shit day. U found a cigarette and used the lighter in the car. Felt like an absolute gangster in that moment
The cigarette lighter is so handy anytime I come across one I buy it I don’t even smoke cigarettes anymore but you can use it for many things I miss old school shit 😊
my 1995 Casillac Deville had 3 cigarette lighters with ashtrays. One on the front with two spots to tamp out the cigarette and one in each back passanger door (ashtray included). the only one neater was the backseat of my dad's 1999 Lexus GS 300. the ashtrays in the back seat passenger doors were deeeeep and had little windows in them so the lights inside the ashtray housing could shine into the compartment. we used to hide coins in them.
lol my dad restored a old school car nice enough to be a daily driver with me growing up, and you wouldn’t believe how hard it was to find a working cig lighter for his car…. So many companies sell dummy ones that work for the car charger and never light up. My dad always said over and over growing up until we found a working part from a chop shop “if I have a car with ash trays even for fucking passengers, I’ll be dammed if I can’t offer a light” my pops even cut out a hole in the passenger side under a floor matt to drop empty beers out of. His logic behind the hole on the passenger side was “If the passenger got caught and accepted responsibility, the driver would be let off if he didn’t seem whacked” and it worked so many times growing up. The passenger got an open container ticket if they couldn’t get the empties out in time. Pops went off free, and it even worked years and years later when I first started driving with friends !! 😂😂 life lessons 😂😂😂
A cigarette lighter hole and a 12v supply hole are actually different internally. The cigarette lighter has an additional metal plate in the bottom. If your 12v adapter has a metal ring at the base, it can short out the outlet or heat up the housing on the 12v adapter.
My first car had one of those lighters. I miss them dearly. Now I have to light my joints with the windows up to keep from blowing the flame out of my lighter, and the smoke makes it hard to hear the sirens behind me.
Used one of these to warm my fingers on a really cold day once. Pretty sure I just barely had enough gas and didn't want to run it... Figured it'd be better to smoke out of the bitter wind inside a freezing car Great times!

That's why it's called a cigarette port
God that sound at the end is so satisfying I remember it and all the old cars
Thanks, Michael Reeves!
Back when I was working I car shop I didn't know dat this was a lighter thing tucht it and had yellow and black ring on my finger for god knows how long
That sound effect brought something back....
You explaining a cigarette car lighter hurts my feelings...😅
"John DeLorean had his priorities" I was waiting for a cocaine joke when ya said this.
Damn those lighters. I needed to lose all sensitivity in my thumb for a month before I figured out what the hell those things even did...
Wow, thanks for explaining what something in every car is
Bro explained the cigarette lighter like they werent on every single car
I lost my cig lighter years ago I wish I still had it
When you realize the whole car is flat surfaced so john can enjoy his favorite activity
I remember coming home from work one day, I didn’t smoke but had a shit day. U found a cigarette and used the lighter in the car. Felt like an absolute gangster in that moment
My favorite thing is the lockbox for John’s *fun* little habits
I want me one of those someday, not just for the car but for the nostalgia lol
The cigarette lighter is so handy anytime I come across one I buy it I don’t even smoke cigarettes anymore but you can use it for many things I miss old school shit 😊
"There's a place to put your ashes..."
Me, half paying attention: "No thanks, I'll stick with an urn, thank you."
my 1995 Casillac Deville had 3 cigarette lighters with ashtrays. One on the front with two spots to tamp out the cigarette and one in each back passanger door (ashtray included). the only one neater was the backseat of my dad's 1999 Lexus GS 300. the ashtrays in the back seat passenger doors were deeeeep and had little windows in them so the lights inside the ashtray housing could shine into the compartment. we used to hide coins in them.
That lighter burned a lot of straws, toothpicks, and stray french fries while mom went shopping
i love that everyone in these comments were talking about how it teaches you not to touch shit lmao. i still remember the feel
In my car its also a cigarette Thingy
But i Put usb ports in there
Those are things all cars had back then. Except most actually had a center console cubby. They even had metal flip top ashtrays in the arm rests.
Love a glowing red piece of metal flying into my lap from an old square body pick-up
lol my dad restored a old school car nice enough to be a daily driver with me growing up, and you wouldn’t believe how hard it was to find a working cig lighter for his car…. So many companies sell dummy ones that work for the car charger and never light up. My dad always said over and over growing up until we found a working part from a chop shop “if I have a car with ash trays even for fucking passengers, I’ll be dammed if I can’t offer a light” my pops even cut out a hole in the passenger side under a floor matt to drop empty beers out of. His logic behind the hole on the passenger side was “If the passenger got caught and accepted responsibility, the driver would be let off if he didn’t seem whacked” and it worked so many times growing up. The passenger got an open container ticket if they couldn’t get the empties out in time. Pops went off free, and it even worked years and years later when I first started driving with friends !! 😂😂 life lessons 😂😂😂
I call it the instant cauterizer
I drive a car from 2007, I always forget some people don’t know there are cars with built in lighters i literally use it all the time
our fingers remembers...😮
John D took Sonny Corleone's advice "There's a lot of money in that white powder, Pop"
I got to see one of these when it first was produced. It was on the car dealers showroom floor.
That cigarette lighter had a satisfying click to it.
Thats where the cocaine was
Love ur videos ❤🤘
My old car has neither a lighter or ashtray... but does have 'smokers windows' so you can flick your ash out onto the road. Ashtrays were an extra.
mansplained the car lighter to us. makes me feel old
Everytime I see a cigarette lighter in a car, I immediately think of the blues brothers.
“What’s your car brand?”
“Devil May Cry”
A cigarette lighter hole and a 12v supply hole are actually different internally. The cigarette lighter has an additional metal plate in the bottom. If your 12v adapter has a metal ring at the base, it can short out the outlet or heat up the housing on the 12v adapter.
My first car had one of those lighters. I miss them dearly. Now I have to light my joints with the windows up to keep from blowing the flame out of my lighter, and the smoke makes it hard to hear the sirens behind me.
You call it a cigarette lighter, I call it a teachable moment for a curious child.
Bro did the best proposal ever
Used one of these to warm my fingers on a really cold day once. Pretty sure I just barely had enough gas and didn't want to run it... Figured it'd be better to smoke out of the bitter wind inside a freezing car
Great times!
WERE GOIN BACK IN TIME WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ngl the change cubby would make a great spot for a wireless charger
I need to cruise a blunt in a dellorean atleast once smh
