Pointless inventions of the new century.

Spotted today. A car with hub caps that turned independently of the wheel. They just sort of spin on a bearing..........thus, as the car is moving, the hubs appear to be moving at a different speed giving the sort of effect that you used to spot on waggon wheels in the old cowboy films. Also, when the car stopped at lights, the hubcaps continued moving forward.....then stopped.....then started turning backwards.

I'll add this to my ever growing list of pointless inventions of the new century....right next to the car wash that had white, green, pink and blue suds that smell of bubblegum.
