Let’s talk about useless things. Somehow it happens that you get most of fun making things that are not very practical.
Roland
Everything starts with Roland, or to be more precise Peugeot 205 Roland Garros - my beloved car. It’s a special edition of 205’s from 1990 (my age) with features like:
- red seatbelts
- tachometer! (the simple models did not have those)
- electric windows
- half-leathered (white) seats
- sun roof
- special rims
- and not to forget to mention - old grandma smell ;D
It’s been now more than a year I own it, and I still cannot help but love it.
Music
The thing is that originally these cars had a cassete player, which IMO looked great and felt right, but the problem was that when I bought it, it already had a cd radio from 2000s with flashy LEDs, ‘Bass Boost’, and other not fitting to this car elements. Things had to change.
Ok, tbh, I had a CD of John Lee Hooker (yes, I love blues), which was on repeat, so although I do love him, but through the many hours spent in the car, it got bored. Then I used an AUX cable and connected my phone, but driving and looking to the screen to find a song sometimes feel uncomfortable, not to mention dangerous. That is how ideas are born.
