EJECT button. "So, what does it really do?"
It's been very hard to explain to some people that this button is just a PROP.
The follow up is always:" Seriously, what does it really do?"
It's been a great conversation piece, and for about $5.
Yeah, I know. I should have straightened the button before the picture was taken.

I have one of those in my wife's SUV. The one in my pickup says "FIRE MISSLES". As you said, a lot of fun for five bucks.

Does it actually work? Not that I smoke, but can you light a cig with this?

No, it's just a plug that fills the hole. No innards to it.

When I show it to someone for the first time, I say with a touch of urgency "Don't touch it!"

With some of these ******** on the road, a real "Fire Missiles" would be appropriate.

I have one, too! Somewhere, I have the Missle Button.
Back in the old days, when I was a teen, I had a toggle switch with a cover, on the console of my '63 T-Bird. It killed the brake lights.
