In this episode, the Donut team delves into the world of modern products designed to bring old cars into the 21st century. They kick things off by testing a sun visor extender, which they find scratched and potentially hazardous. Despite its functionality, they dismiss it as unnecessary and distracting, questioning its value in solving a non-existent problem. Moving on, they humorously discuss a mix-up with a WD40 ad and app, showcasing the simplicity of using WD40 specialist Degreaser and cleaner Easy pods.

Next, the team explores a Bluetooth transmitter for vintage radios, encountering issues with its functionality. They opt for a small head unit installation in the glove box, paired with a Bluetooth speaker for a nostalgic touch. Transitioning to an FM Jacker for Bluetooth connection, they appreciate its ease of use and the ability to listen to podcasts in classic cars. Subsequently, they test a cooling car seat cover equipped with fans to combat sweaty backs, expressing skepticism over its effectiveness and high price point.

Continuing their quest to modernize old cars, the team experiments with curb feelers, finding them functional yet potentially impractical. Lastly, they venture into the realm of preserving vintage car paint with Poppy Patina, facing challenges with application and achieving a streaky finish. Through their lighthearted trials and tribulations, the Donut crew showcases the quirks and complexities of integrating modern conveniences into beloved classic vehicles.
