First off, we love AutoZone. We grew up going between there, Advance Auto Parts, and a local business for all of our automotive needs, whether it was a simple oil change or an alternator. It's a great place for quick access to plenty of quality parts and products. However, as the company has grown and become more commercial, they've also begun to carry quite a few things that, simply put, are really stupid. These are the things you see when you walk into the store and just think, "what the hell?" Stick to the oil and spark plugs and stay the hell away from this zone. Here are 10 Stupid Car Items Available at AutoZone Right Now.

Triple Plated Chrome and Black DUB Edition License Plate
Buy It Now: $24.99
Oh my God, you have a DUB edition license plate? Damn, homie, your car looks at least 17 times better now. Like, your tinted windows and super loud exhaust were pretty cool, but this shit right here? The illest. That 3D really jumps out at you on the road. It sucks you'll never be able to actually afford DUB rims ... That, kids, is today's lesson in sarcasm.
Hopkins/Go Gear Black Pop-Up Trash Can
Buy It Now: $4.99
We're really trying to figure out why you would ever need a to-go trash can. They already have them at tailgates, you better be using a real garbage can in your actual garage, and keeping a used trash can in your car is just disgusting. Maybe you could use it as a laundry bin for your home?
Foot Rest
Buy It Now: $78.99
We know, we know, you get it to match those polished Billet racing pedals you just bought, but it's still hilarious spending money on a foot rest. It's such a useless piece of the car that you're just going to dirty up and that nobody will see, so it makes it tough to find a legitimate reason to spend
Plasticolor Pooh and Piglet Visor Organizor
Buy It Now: $14.99
This speaks for itself. We'll just say this, Autozone. When we're trying to do our manly tasks of fixing up our cars, it's a little offputing to be in store that sells Hello Kitty and Winnie The Pooh products. Also, having a visor organizer is basically the automotive version of the fanny pack. You don't want to be that guy.
Pilot Automotive 2-Piece Universal Body Air Vent
Buy It Now: $19.99
Guaranteed to give your car zero added performance and make your car look 100 percent dumber. Full satisfaction or your money back.
Alpena 8-Inch Amber Colorful Flexible LED Light
Buy It Now: $15.99
There's something about a rope light that screams "tacky." Probably the fact that you're basically putting Christmas lights in an unoriginal, lame way to try to stand out. At least your wannabe flag girl girlfriend will appreciate the mood lighting.
Ed Hardy Products
Buy It Now: Prices Vary
We covered a piece of this in our list of "10 Accessories That Make Your Car Look Stupid," but it's worth bringing up again. Having any of these accessories in your car is basically like stapling a giant Affliction shirt around your antenna, waving the douche flag for everybody to see. We'd rather ride in your trunk than have to look at and be associated an Ed Hardy-wrapped steering wheel.
Ford Racing Office Chair
Buy It Now: $249.99
What's worse than somebody who likes to pretend he's driving a race car in his Chevy Cavalier? Somebody who takes that attitude outside his vehicle into places like work and projects it on everybody else by spending $250 on a ridiculous chair. We know your favorite NASCAR driver is Jeff Gordon, dude. We get it. And stop playing Need for Speed when you're supposed to be doing spreadsheets.
Auto Ventshade/Fuel Door Graphics
Buy It Now: Too Popular, Special Order Needed
When you're unable to buy the real product, just get a sticker, right? Then wait for it to start peeling and leave a weird residue on your car. Also included is a different color paint due to fading. Great plan.
Spectre 3/8-Inch. x 8-Foot Blue Convoluted Tubing
Buy It Now: $5
This piece right here is mainly stupid due to the way people will use it. Kids with their Japanese tuners will see a cool picture of an awesome chromed out Skyline with blue paint and blue engine accents and think they can do that to their Integra (admittedly, this is partially from experience). They will go buy three pieces of chrome, some blue tubes, and that's it. When they realize how much money, time and effort it would take to completely makeover an engine bay, the car will be stuck with three random blue things. Subsequently, it will look really stupid, and your father who told you it was a silly idea in the first place will give you a nice, big "I told you so."
