                I heard he couldn’t get it to light up on demand!

              In this case it is preferable to use the term “stand-ing”.

            lololololololololololololol

      • Andy says:

        Sod off you idiot. And stop linking to your dumb ricer car page, it blows.

        • 3000GT owner says:

          Why is it exactly that you have a problem with Japanese cars? What makes you hate them so much? The fact that a four cylinder aluminum engine can make more power than many new V8s, thanks to new methods of power limiting for larger displacement engines? The fact that a Honda Civic, with a little work, can out-accelerate a Ford Mustang GT, purely based on its power-to-weight ratio?
          What exactly is your deal? I’d really like to understand it. Because I theorize that your discrimination against foreign cars is based on nonsense. Were you out-gunned by one too many Lancers? Seriously, man… It’s thinking like that that starts wars. “Oh, I hate something for no reason.” Are you upset because the Big Three don’t sell that many cars anymore? Or, are you upset that Jensen Healey doesn’t exist anymore? Honestly, dude… Get a grip on reality. Japanese cars are just as good as German, French (yes, the French actually do make some good cars. Look up the Peugeot 206 S16 for example), English, and American cars. Most Japanese car companies have been around for over 50 years. So maybe you should think more about the fact that they’re on a higher quality level than your Mustangs, or your Jaguar XKRs (which, by the way, were really fucked up before Ford purchased Jaguar). Think about it. Think about the fact that I make 800bhp from a 3.0 liter V6. And I did it for about $10,000 USD. Just think about that.

          • Arthur Eld says:

            That is funny. Especially “It’s thinking like that that starts wars.”

          • grannycatflap says:

            dolphin eater

          • Lord De Vis says:

            *hits with a pan*

          • wfaulk says:

            I’m thinking that it has more to do with the fact that the page’s most useful piece of information is: “Sorry But You Do Not Appear To Be The Vehicle Owner”.

            • craig says:

              you think the 206 is a good car? Have you actually driven it? It’s a shed with
              extra torque steer!

              • 3000GT owner says:

                Yes, I’ve driven a 206. You have to adjust your driving style to compensate for the fact that it’s a FWD hatchback. They handle differently than everything else. A friend of mine brought his back with him after visiting Europe, and I’ve got to say, if he ever sells the car I’ll buy it. 206s are notorious for understeer, but then again, any front wheel drive car can be hated for that. Just look at the Dodge SRT-4. 220hp front-wheel-drive. Car has understeer like you wouldn’t believe. The 206 is a dream compared to the SRT-4. The best way to improve their handling is to add a little more weight to the back, adjust your suspension, and get better tires. They’re pretty decent cars, once you figure out the best way to drive them, for you.

          • ルーカス says:

            Don’t forget Italian cars. Lambos are famous for their speed.

          • BOGGY the FailBOG Monster (owned by SB) says:

            tl;dr

            *eats 3000GT with 800bhp 3.0 liter V6*
            BURP! HA HA HAR HAR HAR HAR!!!!

          • 67BarracudaOwner says:

            I put less than $8,000 USD into my 426 Hemi and I get >1200 bhp w/ NOS. Without the smack, I’m probably still around 800 bhp and at least 600 ft/lb torque. My vehicle weighs nearly twice what yours does and could still eat it alive any day.

            My larger engine also has the strength to deal with higher pressures, temperatures, and overall stresses than your little import V6. Basically, it will last far longer when driven under extreme performance.

            You can imagine and dream all you want that your Mitsu 3000GT is some kind of supercar, but dollar for dollar, nothing beats good old-fashioned American muscle.

            • Mikey D says:

              I have a Ford Focus. It’s green.
              Read it and weep.

              • aikiwaza says:

                I can top that…
                I own a ford focus too, but mine is silver and has damage on the rear passenger door where a front loader backed into it.

                • Sandi says:

                  Oops – sorry about that – didn’t see you down there …

                • Mikey D says:

                  *weeps*

                  • Arthur Eld says:

                    VW Polo. Faint red. 12 years old. Bumps and bruises everywhere.

                    • czuhc says:

                      Mercedes C220, 9 years old. Engine stops every time right after I ignited. Sometimes even stops after I drive a few hundred meters. I had it fixed 3 (three!) times now but it keeps coming back. Last week the motor from the windscreen wiper gave out during a storm! I was glad to make it back alive.

                      • Arthur Eld says:

                        I have to unlock my car on the left door and look it on the right. The electric window on the driver side moves with about 2 cm per minute and closing it takes even longer. And makes a horrible sound like *squeeeeeeeeeek* At drive-ins everybody laughs at me.

            • 3000GT owner says:

              I will never attempt to compete with a Hemi, friend. I grew up with Mopars. My first car was a ‘70 Duster Demon with a 340. So I know the power of muscle cars. But for the record, my car weighs 3700lbs. And my AWD does put me off the line pretty quick. So it would be fun to see you on the strip some day.
              But the numbers you quoted for torque are too low. If you’re making 800hp out of a Hemi, you should have at least 760ft./lb. My exact numbers are 815hp@4500rpm and 758ft./lb.@4050rpm. You should make more torque than me.
              Another thing. How much did you pay for your ‘67? Those cars aren’t common, so it had to be a decent amount. Although I’m not too big on that body style.
              Add that in to your equation for price, then tell me where you’re at.
              And for the record, you’ve got a big cast iron block. That weighs a shitload. I have a small cast iron block, that doesn’t weigh that much. With highly advanced cooling and better engine internals, I can run at full throttle for as long as you, maybe longer. The Hemi is an engine designed for the strip, plain and simple. So you could do well at the drag strip. But the 3000GT was designed to be a grand touring car (hence the GT in the name). So it was designed to do things like the 24 hours of Le Mans. Granted, my car isn’t one of the pro-circuit JGTC cars of the 90s, but my engine will hold out. The only flaw with my engine was the fact that it had aluminum heads. And I quickly resolved that issue.
              So, while your Hemi does have advantages over my V6, just think about the fact that I still get about 12mpg highway (about the same as my dad’s 1988 Dodge Ramcharger with a 360 mated to a 727 tranny). And I don’t use NOS. That shit will blow your block dude.
              And, lastly, you say nothing beats old-fashioned American Muscle? Tell that to my brother, who has been drag racing for 10 years in a ‘69 Dart with a 440, who got beat by a new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution with a 4 cylinder and a turbo. All-wheel-drive and turbochargers are the future of fast cars, man.
              I hate to see the cars I grew up with getting beat, especially since I bleed Mopar colors. But the facts are there. Japanese cars are the future of performance. The Nissan 350Z, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Mazda RX-8, hell even the new Honda Civic Si are demons in their own right. American car companies have lost sight of what they used to be. The GT500 used to be something to be feared. Now it’s just a bloated Mustang GT with more horsepower. And the Charger? Who the fuck thought to make that car a four-door? What about the Magnum? A station wagon? Come on!
              Yeah, muscle cars had it going on. That’s why I’m picking up a ‘68 Roadrunner next week. But new cars can kick some ass, too. And for not that much money.
              Just keep your mind open. That’s what I did.

          • 3000gt blow says:

            lol I had a 3kgt those cars are the biggest pos ive ever driven and thats saying something. it was a 3800 lb car back in the early 90s when airbags werent even standard. plus get this a 40k car that had abs as a option which was a good thing cuz the abs system would fail cuz mitsu doesnt know how to make electronics guess thats cryslers fault though right. I dont see a honda civic out running a mustang gt unless its got a turbo or something because a high 13s car vs a high 17s car it takes some work to knock that 3 seconds off. Dont get me wrong I like most jap and other cars and id gladly buy them before id buy american but making tons of power just isnt something the japanese are good at sure they have a few here and there but there good at making econoboxes with no soul so just leave at that.

            • Kessie says:

              *watches the teal deer run past*

            • 3000GT owner says:

              You must not realize that Mitsubishi was famous in America for making high-end televisions and stereos long before any company you can think off of the top of your head.
              Airbags are standard in 3000GTs. My ABS kicks ass. And I have electronically customizable suspension. So I can alter my handling characteristics as I drive.
              Yes, when 3000GTs were new they were expensive. They were Mitsubishi’s highest class touring car.
              Designed to compete with Toyota Supras (which are also heavy), Mazda RX-7s, and Nissan Skylines (again, relatively heavy cars), the 3000GT was a luxury/sports car designed purely to have lots of power available, and have every creature comfort that could be thought of.
              Keeping that in mind, I will admit that my car doesn’t even have every option, and it weighs 3604lbs. But I also have all-wheel-steering, all-wheel-drive, electronically customizable suspension, active aerodynamics, tunable exhaust, twin turbochargers, a 6-speed, power everything, CD changer, digital temperature module readout, airbags, a full size spare, and a 20 gallon fuel tank.
              So, I think that, for half the price of a Mercedes Benz, having all the options that they did and still having a pretty nice car is worth it.
              I’m not crazy enough to spend $43,245 (sticker price for my car when it was new) for anything.
              That’s why you buy them used, and rebuild them. Because from the showroom floor, they were amazingly overpriced. But you can find any body style 3000GT for under 10k now. For the price, find a more elegantly designed, attractive car. I rather like my leather seats and deep exhaust note.
              And as for Mustang VS. Civic, I have only one thing to say. Civic Si. 210hp, roughly 2300lbs. Mustang GT. 315hp, roughly. Almost 3600lbs. That’s for a 2008 Mustang GT. The power to weight ratio there is so much smaller, as opposed to the Civic. Add an intake, exhaust, and a supercharger (all less than the price difference between the two cars) and you’ve got a 280hp Honda that can outrun any stock Mustang. The Mustang is essentially a 14 second car. It’s in the HIGH 13s. And most drivers aren’t skilled enough to put their Mustangs in the mid-13s from the factory. I don’t know what Civic specs you’re looking at, but I grew up driving a ‘94 Si Hatch with 300hp that ran 14s.

              And you say that Japanese cars can’t make big power? Look at the Evo, or the entire Subaru lineup. All of them make around 300hp. And they’re all 4-cylinders. Most V8s don’t even make 300hp anymore.
              So how can you say they don’t make big power?

    I actually had one of these as a kid. (I was too young to realize the similarity.) My mom’s work made them & it stopped working within a week or two. (I’m sure my parents were thrilled since we would touch everything in the house saying, “Ooouuuch”.)

    • grannycatflap says:

      don’t repeat that story again, just a bit of advice. What other kinds of amusing penis shaped toys did your mom’s company make and how many of them did she bring home for you to play with?

    Lights up when pressed!

  31. hibousoir says:

    I actually had this toy when I was a kid. It sucked. The button inside the finger had to be pressed really hard to get the light to work, but that was impossible with short, skinny kid fingers. And it was made from this awful, smelly plastic, and it stopped lighting up about a month after I got it. A weird toy all around.

  32. Sebastian says:

    LMAO!

    This has “Oozinator” written all over it!

  33. Po says:

    OMG. I actually had one of these as a kid. My innocence was destroyed when a family friend did make a joke implying that it looked like a penis. I was 7, for goodness sake!!!

      I had one too when I was a kid!!!! I was about 6 and too young to understand what else could be used for— wish I still had it now!

    LOL PENIS!!!11

  43. tybofborg says:

    I wish I could find that mail-order catalog that was dropped in our mailbox a few years back… it sold various household appliances, knick-knacks and other generic useless junk, but there was a gem among those, a “self-massage tool”, that promised pain relief in the neck and shoulders area (they even showed a picture of a woman massaging the back of her shoulders with it, to avoid any confusion about its intended usage), but looked and worked exactly like a vibrating dildo. I mean, it’s effing brilliant. Bored housewives are the only people who read all that junk anyway, so it was perfectly targeted, and there is no embarrassment associated with ordering something from a mail-order catalog, right? I bet that damn thing was a best-seller in the whole catalog.

    Anyway, i’m just wondering if the same people came up with the idea of selling dildos to kids exploring their sexuality, under the pretense that they are buying E.T. merchandise. Because it’s still effing brilliant.

  44. dorion55 says:

    what is it?
    just thin :)

  45. Zaribeni says:

    Nice post! Keep it real.I have looked over your blog a few times and I love it.

    I remember this product from the 80s. Bought one out of a closeout bin and had it for years … completely as offensive looking in real life as you can imagine from this picture.

  49. S.T. says:

    Poke at my c*** XD. Said “E.T the prev”

  50. CaveMan says:

    Easy way for young girls to get sex toys? Clever merchandise!

  51. Nick says:

    ET go home.

  52. Lylec says:

    My neighbor used to have one of these back in the early 1980’s. I was horrified by the ET movie (I was 5-6) and he and my older brother would sneak into my room in the middle of the night and night saying ET quotes and get me screaming.

  53. lhurgo says:

    hahaha yea for dildo finger

  54. Blueberrymuffin says:

    I wonder if that thing has a vibrator?
