With all that stuff in place the Mazda handrake grip was looking decidedly out of place, so it had to be replaced, this time with a comically large Wii Sports baseball bat accessory:
All of which is pointless if you can’t actually play a Nintendo Wii while in the Miiata, so yeah, he then removed the car’s stereo and slid in a whole console to replace it, adding a small screen to the dash in the process:
All that was left now was to take the car out on the road, something that technically worked, as you can see in this video:

The answer to this and any other security and convenience question is: who cares, these aren’t permanent add-ons, they’re a joke made for the internet, and we’ve all enjoyed it.
